Wait, are you saying "Google Health" is an independent company under Alphabet, sibling to Google, but with Google in the name?

That seems implausible but would make sense.

Yes, I actually believe that is the case (or will be the case)

I wouldn't see any advantage to making it part of the same legal entity, and a lot of disadvantages.

Google does this in plenty of cases, actually.

Search for Google. A subset of the results are Google entities

Oh, huh, I guess Google Fiber counts, and GV was called Google Ventures while being an Alphabet child for a few months.

That's pretty misleading. I wonder if the news leaked before a name was picked?
