Stocks: GoodRx, Walgreens, CVS shares all down on Amazon's Pharmacy news

The coming healthcare battle between Amazon and Walmart will be interesting.

I had a prescription coming up for renewal.  Using the online transfer drop-down, I requested that the pharmacy be switched to Amz.  They took care of the transferring in about 5 days.  Once moved, they filled it and delivered it in 3 days.  So setting up a new drug with them is not a speedy service overall.   The price was slightly less than half of what the other online pharmacy was charging. In this case, that amounts to about $500/yr.
