Hi,

Amazon wants to build a health care monopoly. The mega-corporation is
trying to acquire health care giant One Medical for $3.9 billion.^1 Amazon
has already acquired an online pharmacy for nearly $1 billion — which it
turned into Amazon Pharmacy.^2 Now, Amazon is offering a monthly Rx
subscription delivery service to Prime members called RxPass.

We must stop Amazon’s attempt to take control of health care in America,
because health industry consolidation leads to higher prices for consumers
without ensuring better care.

allow it to take over health care.

The FTC is reviewing the Amazon – One Medical merger,^3 but Amazon’s other
health care projects continue to zoom forward. Late last year it launched
Amazon Clinic, a “message-based online healthcare service that offers
treatments for over 20 common health conditions.”^4

Amazon’s record raises serious concerns about the tech giant providing
healthcare. The company has a long history of crushing its competitors and
capitalizing on and abusing our data. Consumers should be extremely wary
of Amazon having their health care data.

If that’s not concerning enough, Amazon’s health care acquisitions may
accelerate the devastating Medicare privatization process currently
underway.^5 The increasing push to privatize Medicare is increasing costs
and worsening care for everyday people.

If we want to stop Amazon from becoming a health care monopoly, we must
act now.

Thanks for taking action,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
