Google isn't trying to fix healthcare, but it can now help you find the right doctor - Android Police

Doctors can update their Google Business Profile to signal that they accept Medicare, offer online care, and speak in different languages — Spanish and American Sign Language are two of the 12 supported right now. Users will then be able to look up and filter down practicians as they see fit.
