Can they have a different privacy policy compared to the other companies in the same field? My understanding is that anyone dealing with healthcare data has to be HIPAA compliant.

HIPAA compliance probably means that while other care providers aren't allowed to sell your medical history to marketers, Amazon doesn't even have to do that, and can send you personalized offers based on your medical history all day long without violating HIPAA. Furthermore, this may give them data they can use to correlate medical history with other behavior, and thus potentially infer medical events about other customers that aren't Amazon Care patients.
