      And your Amazon-sponsored telehealth video chat session will have ads pasted across it like some awful news channel screenshot.

      Seriously tho, every-single webpage you visit tattles to a combo of Amazon, Meta, or Facebook. That means based on your medical history Amazon can just flat out choose not to show you items it deems unhealthy. It will use all of that to build a profile whose sole goal is to lump you into risk categories it will use as a reason to charge more money. Maybe not at first, but once the exercise of figuring out just what kind of data they have on you is complete and how they can leverage it, they will.
