−Publishes editorial explaining the $50 Medicare GLP-1 Bridge copay but never surfaces it in the buying funnel, so an eligible beneficiary can pay several times more through the cash-pay programme with no prompt
−Primarily a discount-card and price-comparison business; the telehealth arm is a separate cash-pay line, GoodRx Care Direct, with care delivered by an affiliated medical group and a staffing partner rather than by GoodRx
−Telehealth secondary to core discount business
