Amazon is getting into health care. The internet retailer has announced plans to form a company that will use technology to reduce medical costs and simplify a complex system.

It won't be going that route alone. For the initiative, Amazon is teaming up with two heavyweights of the investing world, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase. The yet-to-be-named new outfit initially will focus on employees at the three partner companies.
