AI drug developer Recursion Pharmaceuticals is considering an Amazon Prime-style subscription model for selling its pipeline of medicines. 

The Salt Lake City-based biotech wants to create a system where a U.S. employer could pay, for example, $45 a month per employee to access any medicine Recursion develops regardless of price — provided it’s prescribed by a doctor. If successful, the move has the potential to revolutionize how drugs are sold.
