The CEO cannot be a figurehead.

I really agree with the top commenter and am totally flumoxed as to how Buffet et. al. can back this.

Not only is this going to require 'CEO abilities' - it's also kind of a 'mega corporate startup' - which is another thing very difficult to achieve.

Amazon is ruthlessly operational, by the numbers etc. - this will collide with medical bureaucracy pretty hard ... it's almost as though you want an outsider ...

Or, to buy a small company or two and combine them, a small team with the 'right chops' and then back them with scale, financing etc..
