What: Amazon launched a subscription plan that provides unlimited generic prescription drugs for USD 5 a month, an offer aimed at its Prime customers.

Why it is important: The initiative demonstrates Amazon's desire to continue to develop its health offer, whether in terms of medicines or care. In July 2022, the group notably announced the acquisition of the private care network One Medical, for USD 3.9 billion.

The service, dubbed RxPass is one of the most advanced subscription plan on the market for low-cost drugs, along with Walmarts’ drug list service, which provides one month's treatment for a single generic drug for USD 4. RxPass offers a suite of generic medications that more than 150 million Americans occasionally or regularly take. RxPass does not require the intervention of a health insurer.
