Buffet seems like a good-hearted person, but nothing about Amazon or JPMorgan leads me to believe this will be an altruistic enterprise. Also, Buffett is 87 and not likely to be involved for too many more years.

Buffet I'll give you, but Bezos clearly is not in this to help anyone out. One only has to look at the negotiations with the guild at the Washington Post to see that.

Berkshire != Buffett

To me he is a character like Gates, Rockefeller or Carnegie. Ruthless, ever greedy businesspeople who get as much as they can out of business at any cost. Then they give a big part of it away. The question is whether the health care thing is part of the making money activities or part of the giving away activities.

You can always hope for the best so let's see what happens. Looking at the American health system I am not very optimistic.
