Signing away most all of your medical privacy rights in order to become a customer is way uncool and unacceptable:

To become an Amazon Clinic patient, first you sign away some privacy
You agreed to what? The ‘HIPAA authorization’ for Amazon’s new low-cost clinic offers the tech giant more control over your health data.

    Wait - the what?

    Amazon Clinic sounds like something from Idiocracy.

        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.
