The Los Angeles Times covered Amazon’s announcement of its new online pharmacy and quoted Peter Winkelstein, executive director of the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics, who said: “At this point, we have no idea what’s going to happen when you tell Amazon that you need a certain medication. The only thing that seems fair to say is that they’re going to monetize this information any way they can.”
