Much speculation has been made based upon a recent Wall Street Journal article regarding Larry Page's priorities as Google's new CEO. Specifically, the article suggested that Page would dedicate fewer resources to Google Health, among many other areas of the business to be scrutinized. In this new age of reactive punditry, I find it amusing the numerous blogs that have followed this article hypothecating the end of Google Health. Health constitutes over 17% of US GDP, and an appropriate share of the world's GDP, so it's likely safe to guess that Google won't abandon the health vertical. Reassess and prioritize existing market opportunities, certainly. But I think that the news of Google Health's death are premature.
