The news is about Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan joining hands to start a new healthcare company. It is non-profit and its customers are the 950,000 employees of the three companies. In the article it is mentioned that there were several precedents to this news event. NPR's Scott Hensley tells Morning Edition there is precedent for the case of a non-health care company wading into the health care business â€" "in fact, it has happened repeatedly."

"One of the most prominent examples is what is now Kaiser Permanente, a big provider of health care in this country. It started with the Kaiser shipyards and providing, first, workers comp kind of care and, later, more integrated health care for employees," Scott explains.

Employees and shareholders are two important stakeholders of any firm. Do some Internet research on the history of Kaiser Permanente, and then for each of the two stakeholder groups (employees and shareholders), state in your post two drawbacks (negatives) of the proposed joint venture of the three companies (Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan).
