Healthcare & Middleman, Amazon?

Its unbelievable, that Amazon is showing interest in the healthcare and its making some players nervous..
take a read...but I'm sure most of you have read it already...but just in case, see below for link.

I truly don't know what to think of it...hmmm, I would say dangerous.

Its also setting its eye at the middleman

The title of this company says it all "ITS AN AMAZON"..

Ok, so where would be the best to start something like this?
Since this Thread states "General Discussion" plus, below that, it states...."Talk about anything and everything! Keep it civil and clean though"...Which is understandable.

I'm guessing the civil portion is what the Mods will be watching, correct?

Interesting considering McKesson already uses Amazon to sell some of their products.

Correct, but more to follow I guess.

Since Amazon is considering selling prescription drugs, the excuse given is that the pharmaceutical industry lacks transparency according to some reports.

Addition: I know it was mentioned that they would make this sort of move, back in the beginning of this year I think.

Cool

I think now is the best time to dive deeper into the healthcare industry. Digitalization of healthcare processes is the way to go for Amazon. In this case, they would have infinite possibilities to collect data, like most of the healthcare apps already do. As the guy above said, healthtech apps process highly sensitive user data. I no wonder why Apple pushed forward their watches with health functions. Soon all the medical workers and related staff as home care service workers will be required to wear these devices. This is our nonprivate future.
