In theory, under HIPAA, your protected health information (PHI) can't just be given to everybody at Amazon. One Medical can only share it for specific, generally pretty legitimate reasons.
HIPAA is pretty strict, and Amazon will be under a lot of scrutiny, so I, personally, would not be worried about them, e.g., using my PHI to try to market stuff to me, or selling it off to the highest bidders.
Here are some PDF fact sheets on the uses and disclosures allowed under HIPAA:

The bad news is they probably don't need to do this, because they have more valuable data than this on you already. :\
