Amazon to acquire One Medical clinics in latest push into health care.
The $3.9 billion deal is Amazon’s latest acquisition in the health care industry. In 2018, it acquired PillPack, an online pharmacy.
Buying a company that operates clinics. I wonder how medical professionals feel about the inevitable take-over of health care by the Silicon Valley tech bros. It’s an industry that is ripe for it… it’s such a pain finding a primary care physician, jumping through hoops to see specialists, dealing with insurance, etc. My kid had a bad tummy ache when she was very little, and we got bills from people who must have just passed her in the hallway for a year afterward.
