Amazon Care - Coming to a City Near You, Ready?

Haven died, Did you think Amazon was going to slow down?  

I'll summarize the article for this one.  Amazon's partner Care Medical field to operate in 17 more states.  Do we know any more than that.  Not really.  Just that Amazon's Washington state employees have access to a concierge level medical service, with same day prescriptions and a digital tool that is the envy of every employer program.

Will it lead to a direct to consumer play.  I don't think so, I think it will lead to a direct to employer play once they perfect the model for their own employees.  This is a little ways off.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.  It will take them as long as it took them to go form a bookseller to a mall emptying behemoth.  Of course, once they were ready to empty the malls it was too late for the malls to react.  On second thought...
