> I wonder if this continues and Google lets Amazon employees on premises to collect medical information about their employees
This is a misunderstanding of the acquisition, and how OneMedical operates.
OneMedical (1Life Healthcare) is a tech company that makes the OneMedical app. They also make electronic health record and clinic management software.
You can visit health clinics branded as "OneMedical" without being a member. You just can't use the app.
OneMedical Clinics use the platform, but are (generally, it's complicated) privately owned by a physicians group.
In Austin, the OneMedical medical staff are associated with Ascension Seton Physicians Group (may have a slightly different name). They aren't Amazon employees. The medical staff isn't accountable to Amazon leadership/shareholders. They are accountable to other medical professionals. This is similar to law firms. Side note: this is one reason why innovating in these fields is very challenging.
This is the same for Amazon Care. The practicing medical professionals are not employees of Amazon.
It is possible that the clinics embedded in Google locations may discontinue licensing/using the OneMedical branding. They may also transition to using another platform, such as EpicCare, to coordinate patient records, scheduling, and Telehealth.
This is my understanding also. Insurance Cos are aware of this.
I think people assume that they are receiving worse service from a PA vs a MD.
A PA may have more time to research your condition. They have more experience with your particular condition.
I went to a PA recently when my usual MD was not available. They knew of a recently(ish) released test that could be helpful in the situation. I did the test, and the MD reviewed it. The MD wasn't familiar with the test, but it ended up being very important.

> No gate keeping (by bundling, pre-installing or pushing Microsoft services) for a level playing field.
> Open standards and interoperability that make an easy migration possible. This gives consumers a free choice.
poorly defined and vague. what is "gate keeping"? what is a "level playing field"?
migration of what? what is envisioned by open standards? what is a free choice?
