The Growth of Getting Prescriptions Delivered the Same Day: How Easy It Is Now to Get Healthcare.

Big stores like Amazon and Walmart want to bring medicine to you fast. They are making it so you can get your prescriptions delivered to your house in a few hours. This is happening because more people want deliveries and some drug stores are closing.

Getting medicine delivered fast is becoming more popular. Drug stores, Instacart, and DoorDash are also delivering prescriptions quickly. But, it can be hard to do this because of how health care works in the US, and some people still like going to the store.

Amazon wants to deliver prescriptions to almost half of its customers by the end of the year. They are adding small pharmacies to make deliveries faster. Walmart is also delivering medicine in most states and customers can get their medicine with other things they buy.

Getting prescriptions delivered fast can help people start taking medicine sooner, like for infections. Amazon says people who get their medicine quickly are more likely to take it. Walmart also says that customers wanted prescription deliveries, so they expanded it.

Some people may not want deliveries if they cost extra money. Some people already get their medicine delivered, so this might not change much. Also, people like going to drugstores because they can talk to pharmacists and some people just like picking up their own prescriptions.
