(tech worker in healthcare here) my best guess is that most of these plays have been dependent on medicare for all/public option gaining more steam than it has. even my company's chiefs were pretty convinced it was going to happen. it's easy to put a doctor in your whole foods or cvs, but cost remains a huge barrier. medicare for all would have fixed that.

Most Whole Foods and CVS locations are space constrained. They can't add a doctor without sacrificing a lot of retail.

Expanding Medicare eligibility would have only a minor impact on costs.
