🛫 Layoffs

Costco joined big retailers like Amazon, Walmart and CVS in the primary care space by offering members $29 telehealth visits, as well as lab testing and virtual mental health services. 

Employers girding themselves for an especially pricey health care benefits season this fall are pushing back harder in negotiations, armed with new price transparency data and emboldened by increased industry scrutiny, Axios' Tina Reed wrote. 

A new study found that working women spend $15.4 billion more in out-of-pocket health expenses annually compared to their male counterparts, but noted that employers could close the gap through enhanced benefits design.
