Cool. Now can I pay with cash? Because I'm not going to let anyone build a profile on whether I like warming lube or just regular lube, how much sugar and alcohol I consume, what kind of romance novels I read, how often I floss, and whether I feel I can afford organic fruit.

Hmm you make a good point, but have you considered that your health insurance provider really wants to know these things, and will pay up to $0.35 to learn them? It would be criminally negligent for Amazon not to build and sell that profile!

I think it should be a fundamental right to pay for goods with cash.

no, no, because you can just grow your own, or just buy guns with cash and use them to exchange them to food. (and if it's not interstate no need for paperwork, right? - in freedom states)
