Summary

Both Walmart and Amazon are getting into healthcare to save money for their companies, and potentially for all consumers (including those insured), using both telehealth and clinics. Clark explains the offerings. These outsiders will expand outside of their own employee groups to become a threat to the medical industry, and a benefit to consumers. // In addition to having a physical DL, some states are rolling encrypted digital versions to carry in your phone. Mobile driver’s licenses are not subject to manipulation to create fake IDs. When it comes time to renew, check online to see if this convenience is available.
