Nurx (YC W16) Will Deliver Prescription Medication to Your Door for Free

Given what http://blog.ycombinator.com/nurx-yc-w16-prescribes-and-deliv... says, and the madness this thread is going to descend into otherwise, I think we can justify a s/Birth Control/Medication/ on the title.

Interesting. Looks like a combination of PillPack/ScriptDash plus a doctor on staff to handle the prescriptions. The most annoying part of getting birth control is jumping through the hoop of getting a doctor to prescribe it, so this is definitely valuable. I hope it catches on and manages to expand.

Applied there last year - didn't know they were going through YC. Good luck to them!

What's the value proposition for investors here? The data they gather from associating the medication to patients?

You're a little late. I think the disruption you're thinking of happened in the 1960's.
