With every company imaginable getting into the healthcare business, Uber, the ride-sharing behemoth, is no exception.   Uber is now adding the delivery of over-the-counter medications and devices as well as your prescription items to their services.  Named Uber Health, the company will not only will deliver your Tylenol, Bandaids, and blood pressure drugs, but, considering food-as-medicine, they’ll bring groceries of all kinds to your doorstep.  The service is currently initiated by your medical team using an Uber website, so you must request its use through your team.  When they order items for delivery to you, you’ll receive text notifications.  Oh, by the way, the intent is for Uber to deliver healthy items, so don’t expect to be receiving your Twinkies and donuts via Uber Health anytime soon.  The cost of the service will, hopefully, be covered by healthcare businesses.
