Prescription medication can be extremely expensive without good (expensive) health insurance, especially if there is no "generic brand" version of the drug available. Think hundreds of dollars per refill. I think that's the pain point they're trying to solve.

some patients have reported costs in the $1-2K for prescriptions for just 1 month. That's definitely on the higher end but even if someone has multiple chronic diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure) co-pays of $10 or $20 dollars per medicine add up quickly.
