Breaking News: Three corporate giants -- Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase -- are forming a company that could disrupt U.S. health care

Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase announced on Tuesday that they would form an independent health care company to serve their employees in the United States.

The three companies provided few details about the new entity, other than saying it would initially focus on technology to provide simplified, high-quality health care for their employees and their families, and at a reasonable cost. They said the initiative, which is in the early planning stages, would be a long-term effort “free from profit-making incentives and constraints.”

I'm confused because all 3 supported Obamacare during the Hillary Clinton campaign and how wonderful it is and affordable? Typical liars.

Soooo the free market prevails again? More and more apparent the gumberment heathcare is not needed or wanted. Insurance companies need to watch their backs now!

Self insured. What a great idea. They will be large enough to compete with any and all of the commercial insurance providers. Makes sense to me.

It is great that the offspring of an immigrant is setting this up.
But of course this is less likely to occur any longer since we are putting so many restrictions on immigrants
