    1. November 3 will be the start of ” Fraud Week”…. from now on…Thanks low information voters, full of fake news hate leftards and communist clowns….

    1. GoodRx is a partner to Amazon, not a competitor. GoodRx is a price compare site with discounts. They don’t sell drugs. Amazon is starting an online pharmacy that sells drugs. No correlation at all.

    2. @Zex Maxwell GoodRx is one of the rare IPOs that is already making profit. They have a talented team – ex Facebook execs, etc.

    1. Archie please some sympathy, this man just had his appendix removed and his pancreas along with his gallbladder he hasn’t digested a decent meal in six weeks. Of course he’s sweating you’d be sweating to Archie

  1. Never used or even heard of either online prescription drug marketplace. We need to go to universal health care, with government negotiating directly with pharmacies as their largest single-source customer, covering all Americans. Our prescriptions would be free, anyway, under universal health care, but it would significantly lower our tax burden to pay for it.

    1. @wily wascal Do you watch Glenn Kirschner yon YouTube? He was a prosecutor for 30 years and his motto is “Justice Matters.” He discuses all the shenanigans Trump et al does. The other day he talked about how Biden wasn’t planning on doing anything to punish Trump’s Crimes. That makes my blood boil.

    2. @Julie B ~ First learned about Biden’s thoughts before the Kirschner segment aired on YouTube, felt betrayed. Kirschner had it right on a prior segment about victims requiring justice. So, yes, as you can probably tell, we are a fan of Glenn’s.

    3. @Julie B ~ Believed in, and have fought for, equal justice long before becoming familiar with Mr. Kirschner. Something else, also very dear to me, is Lt. Col. Vindman’s words: “Truth matters.” In fact, justice is predicated upon truth; it cannot exist without it. What is found most offensive about the Republican cult is their delusional aversion to, and rejection of truth. It is the glue which holds our society–any society–together. It is our common bond of trust. While the Republican cult destroys that, they destroy America. Which makes them the enemy of America, the corrosive acid eating away at this nation from within. We, and they, especially, need to understand this.

  2. Time to split up these mega black hole companies that have become their own government.. Step 1 get them to pay their fair share of taxes as a corporation, not a person.

    1. MAGA HAS JUST BEGUN!!! AMERICA is under attack from the inside by very sick and demented people….Never comply with communist clowns….

  3. my medication cost the same wherever i go to get it!! thank God for the UK National Health Service. when do you think the USA will come into the 19th Century?

  4. AMazon is overpriced on 90% of their “products”…….THEY PRODUCE NOTHING!!!!!!!!! Manufacturers provide better deals.

    1. its all made in china,previous goverments were sucking up to china in the hopes of better relationships but those commie chinesse saw americans coming and took over production of everything and big business america loved it they sold out their own people

  5. GoodRx is great for me. Now that I’m unemployed my RA medication without insurance is $164…. with GoodRx, I pay only $67.00. Thank God for them!!!!

  6. turns out neither is clown cable LOL having to pay someone to take this excuse of a network off your hands LOL!!!! GOLD!

  7. *I have a great idea, how about Trump moving to the Libertarian party and take it*
    *all next time! Think about it, over 70 million to him and the Democrats and*
    *Republicans will be splitting the other 70 million!*

  8. Wow – to not even possibly consider Amazon as a ‘competitor’ is not having either awareness which is not good for a leader of the company or denial. Both are dangerous.

  9. It’s called quality? This is a global world but?? IS this safe for the general public. FDA watching ? ? I surely hope so.

  10. The fact that prescription drugs can be sold for different prices depending on the retailer and location is a problem. GoodRx has been a godsend for the uninsured, and also for the transparency it provides regarding local pharmacy drug pricing.
