Amazon's 2019 healthcare move? Insurance, analyst predicts
Amazon | December 27, 2018
Amazon could make a big play in the health insurance insurance industry next year, according to CNBC. Stephen Buck, co-founder of health transparency company Courage Health, told CNBC that Amazon's recent healthcare deals signal the company could make a bold move into health insurance in 2019.
"In my opinion, the puzzle is far from complete," he told the publication. "2019 could be the year that Amazon adds a few more big pieces to reveal much larger ambitions in healthcare by becoming an insurer, pharmacy benefits manager, or both."
