Josh Hawley asks FTC to probe Amazon One Medical deal

U.S. Senator Josh Hawley has called on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the proposed $3.9 billion merger between Amazon and One Medical. Hawley raised concerns about the potential access to patient data by Amazon and the company’s growing dominance in the primary care market. He also questioned the potential privacy and safety implications of the deal. Hawley asked the FTC to clarify the firewalls between patient and retail customer data and the products Amazon plans to develop after the merger.
