aetna, express scripts cigna and others >> you're right.rs make a lot of sense to me because what they're going to do is they're combining pbms, pharmacy based managers with health plans. pbms are pretty antiquated, and i think the savings that they'll get through consolidation will be significant for each of those dea deals, but that doesn't solve the problem of how those companies get to a cloud-based platform business and that's what amazon understands so well. and so, yes, it will take them a few years to get there because somewhere along the line they have to get beyond supply chaining which they know beyond consumer facing businesses which they know. they have to be able to integrate into a pbm network and at the moment, we're the only cloud based platform out there. and whether they're going to build it themselves or what they'll do, we'll have to wait and see. but that's a very complex challenge ahead for a terrific company. >> john is the complexity that you keep coming back to at all some kind of an insulation for the incumbents o

remember the recent large-scale aetna breach that disclosed some of its members' h.i.v. status. but there are also small-scale breaches that don't make the news, but can have devastating consequences for patients trying to recover and get treatment. for example, a recent investigation detailed instances where a health care organization's employee peeked at the record of a patient 61 times and posted details on facebook while another improperly shared a patient's health information with the patient's parole officer. breaches such as this are very concerning. and could occur more often as a result of this legislation. while i appreciate the sponsors' efforts to alleviate these concerns, i do not believe the potential harm that could be caused by eliminating the patient consent requirement under existing law for treatment, payment and health care operations can be remedied through the measures included in this bill. the inclusions of these provisions cannot compensate for the risk of stigma, discrimination and negative health and life outcomes for individuals with opioid use disord
