Amazon’s Venture into Healthcare - Haven

After class discussion on April 5 where we spent a lot of time talking about the Death Star, Amazon it made me think about their new Healthcare venture called “Haven” that they are launching with JP Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway.   Their plan is to start “small” and provide a service that covers the 1.2 million employees between those three companies.  They have stated that their mission is to provide simpler, better, lower cost healthcare options.  Haven is aiming to improve the process of navigating the complex health care system and provide affordable treatments and prescription drugs.  After hearing about how they treat companies like our classmates, I’m very nervous how they will treat the healthcare providers.  I am also curious what they intend to do with the health data that they will undoubtedly collect.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out...
