        I’m particularly concerned at how much of what they’re offering seems to be gynecology. That requires extra privacy not less

        Wow. I am not surprised as it seems Amazon and other mega-corporations are trying to get their hands into anything that could turn a profit by preying on consumer information. It is sad that American healthcare has come to this.
