Amazon has been a very successful retail company, but not very profitable. It has continued to push to expand to new markets, including health care. It announced yesterday that it is buying a company with a number of primary care clinics, One Medical, for around $4 billion.

We will see, historically outsiders who come into health care do terribly.
