I see a lot of overlap in the consumer demographics with One Medical and Whole Foods. Could be a CVS model where they will start combining their retail and healthcare, leverage their locations. Also, marketing... They will keep the health data private, but I'm sure within their health App it will allow you to click to purchase from their pharmacy, or heart healthy options from Whole Foods, or DME from Amazon.

My concern would be privacy, but then again, based on your internet history, they probably already know more about your health than you do!

The HIPAA rules are very overdue for an update. They need to be modernized for the digital world. The recent CVS news is interesting. They have tried to get their minute clinics off the ground without much luck. I want to know what they are going to do differently this time.

Way overdue, but I'm sure it will take some major event to move the needle on that one.
