Summary:Earlier this year, Amazon, J. P. Morgan, and Berkshire Hathaway announced plans to launch a joint health care company with more than a million covered lives. Dr. Atul Gawande, the prominent Boston-based surgeon and health care thought leader, will become the first chief executive officer of this health care venture, with a mission to get the best results at the lowest costs and remain free from profit-making incentives and constraints.
