AOL Co-Founder Case Launches Health Site

By BetaNews Staff, BetaNews

AOL co-founder Steve Case launched Revolution Health on Monday, a site that aims to combine social networking with health care information. The site would include about 125 free tools, as well as over-the-phone support, health insurance assistance, doctor appointment scheduling, and other advanced services to those who pay for premium memberships.

Those premium services would cost about $100 per year, according to the Wall Street Journal. However, a free trial option that includes both telephone support and digital record service would be offered to those who subscribe within the first 90 days. Case is serious about the new venture: he told the WSJ that he has invested $100 million of his personal fortune.
