Potential Delay in Nationwide Telehealth Launch by Amazon Clinic

The nationwide expansion of Amazon Clinic, a subscription-based telehealth service, has been delayed due to a letter from Senators Elizabeth Warren and Peter Welch regarding patient privacy protections. The senators expressed concerns about the platform's handling of user data and cited a Washington Post investigation. They asked Amazon to provide information on the data being collected, how it is used, and if it is used to promote other Amazon products. Amazon Clinic has refuted any delay caused by the inquiry and stated that it is preparing a response to the senators' letter.
