This time it isn’t even Thiel, the company was originally the UK subsidiary of the technology arm of UHC (the large US health conglomerate whose insurance arm’s CEO got shot by someone who is not Luigi Mangione because I was having a beer with him that night).

It now got bought by some private equity company that does healthtech among other things. It being a private equity company, its goal is to enshittify and IPO or sell on. Meaning the service WILL suffer and there’s a nonzero chance they’ll sell access to patient data to other companies quietly.

Thiel doesn’t have much need for this one because he already has his grubby hands in the UK’s health records via the Palantir NHS deal.
