Amazon's patent also says that the "Voice-based determination of physical and emotional characteristics of users" could allow "personalization and management of personal and household, health and safety issues". "This ability would allow the user to manage personal and household, health and safety issues through a software application," the patent says.

That patent does not address the way Alexa can learn about your health habits, but it does address Alexa's ability to make recommendations about your health. Amazon's patent also states that Alexa could be able to "discuss and make recommendations to you based on the condition of your body," and that the company is working on "a system to provide a social information on the Internet, including a personalized health and safety information system."

Amazon's claims are a significant boost for the American App Store's online store business. The company is in the process of closing $100 million in its online retail business and the closing of more than 120,000 jobs in its retail and software businesses. For the first time in more than 30 years, Amazon is in business with an online store.The United States Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, Monday, giving an early indication that it intends to overhaul the nation's healthcare system.

The House, Democratic-led, was expected to vote on it at 1 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, after the Senate had passed it two weeks earlier.

But House Republicans and Democrats blocked the vote, leaving the House's conservative majority and some of the GOP-controlled Senate with little to do. The vote's passage was expected to add to a Republican filibuster, which was used to block the Senate's effort to pass the Affordable Care Act in the past.

"As the House of Representatives moves forward with its legislative effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, we must recognize that it's an important step to further advance the health care of our American citizens," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. "With this legislation, we will not only pass legislation to provide insurance for millions of Americans, but we will also ensure that we're going to have strong and affordable health care for our children, young people and their families."
