Will Amazon take on healthcare next?

Amazon has brought on health experts into their corporate family, and that has some investors thinking they may offer pharmaceutical offerings, and more, in the future.
These experts, allegedly, have been tasked with creating cloud offerings and applications for the Alexa voice technology.
Since Amazon has been selling and distributing medical goods for some time, it only makes sense for them to expand their offerings, which makes many in the healthcare industry nervous.
