NBC is providing propaganda for Amazon and companies that want to extract as much as possible from the middle class
This was the plan all along to trick the American people that privatized health care is the best system in America while the entire world has socialized healthcare
How much money do you need Jeff?
I want to complain. I want to say, but, but, but.
But I'm guilty of giving Amazon my money when online shopping. But I helped Amazon get this big.
But I did this to myself.
Oh what a game of monopoly is being played. It’s like we’ve been swallowed into the game
Sell lousy food and treat the sick symptoms; deliver food, deliver bigpharma products.
When will Amazon buy a BigPharma???
Monopoly of Amazon growing even bigger, Bezos will decide how people live by paying only Amazon.
Give me affordable healthcare and I have no problem giving you my DNA sample.
When asked if workers would be given access to One Medical, the Amazon spokesman let out a thunderous belly-laugh.
Fake news
They're going to put patients on a conveyor belt that goes past the doctor. Whatever the doctor can do as you go by- that's what you get.
Just because you buy something doesn't necessarily mean it's for your use. So trying to correlate the data with your health profile is going to be sticky at best.
I recently bought a rollator through Amazon, after United Healthcare was not only 0 help but ate up a ridiculous amount of time. Changed my thinking.
This is a huge downfall for seeing a doctor in that area! F. Amazon. So much for Privacy and treatment!
Yea that's bad very bad lol
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some month up sees time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Monopoly
I don't like this idea if big Corporation is starting to dabbling in healthcare then definitely this needs to be addressed in a new bill Hippa does not cover it those kind of situations as far as I know
Doctors don't really have time to handle health situations, already. Doctors don't have a good bedside manner either. Just give me the medicine I need, the tests I need, and the solutions I need. And make sure all of it is done with my insurance carrier and not so expensively, please! These companies already know so much about us and spy on us on a daily basis. No one has stopped them yet, so I assume no one is going to. Our world is just getting shi**ier and shi**ier!
If Amazon can't take care of getting packages delivered what makes anyone think they can take care of people
This is fascism.
