Former executives of the AOL-Time Warner disaster seek normalcy in health related businesses

Published: Tuesday, January 23, 2007

Isn't it ironic that the two men who orchestrated the worst merger in history are both in health related businesses? Former Time Warner CEO Gerald Levine went underground the day he left the TW offices for the last time, only to pop up as a partner in some kind of health spa in California where he settled. Now his former co-pilot Steve Case finally got his health website off the ground. We guess after all the pain their dumb merger caused people they felt obligated to to get into businesses where people in pain, mentally and/or physically can seek help.

In the case of Steve Case, his new venture called RevolutionHealth.com is a kinda like a knock off of WebMD but you have to pay more. Anyway In Steve's own words, he tells us why he went the health route.

After leaving AOL, I thought long and hard about what I should do next. I felt that health care was in dire need of transformative change, and decided to build another company that could be a change agent, with the goal of shifting power into the hands of people themselves. I see this as a business opportunity, to be sure, and we’re aiming to build Revolution Health into a major company. But I also see this as an opportunity to do some good, by tackling a health care system that is a mess, in the way I know best: by building a company that can change the world.
