GV, other investors pour $27M into the 'Expedia for medical care'

Online healthcare marketplace Sesame closed a $27 million Series B funding round on Tuesday, bringing its total funding to $75 million. David Goldhill, CEO of the New York City-based startup, said the company is "an Expedia for medical care" because patients can buy the care they want directly online, without the middleman of an insurance company.
