More than half of Americans are stressed about buying groceries — significantly more than the financial pressure they feel about credit card debt, child care or student debt, an AP-NORC poll out Monday found.

Drugmakers are increasingly using telehealth platforms to sell their medicines directly to patients — and President Trump is pushing for more companies to get into the game.
Why it matters: Direct-to-consumersales require only a few mouse clicks, often without the need to manage appointments or insurance forms. Online sales can also bypass pharmacy middlemen, in theory lowering prices and providing more transparency into what patients have to pay.
