Amazon today announced its intentions to buy One Medical, a U.S.-based primary care provider, in a deal worth approximately $3.9 billion. The deal — if it’s approved by regulators — would mark a major expansion into the healthcare industry for Amazon.
“We think health care is high on the list of experiences that need reinvention,” said Neil Lindsay, SVP of Amazon Health Services, in a statement. “We love inventing to make what should be easy easier and we want to be one of the companies that helps dramatically improve the healthcare experience over the next several years.”
