Amazon.com Inc. is launching a new subscription service called RxPass on Tuesday. It’s available only to Prime members and offers unlimited access to commonly prescribed generic medications, including high-blood pressure and anxiety drugs, for only $5/month. John Love, the VP of Amazon Pharmacy, said the service will save the average Prime member around $100/year on prescription costs. “We think even if we can just make things a little bit better for a whole lot of people, that’s going to have a resounding impact on health,†Love told The Wall Street Journal. Amazon started selling prescription medicines in 2020, two years after its acquisition of online pharmacy PillPack Inc.
