Kaiser Permanente is the largest HMO in California, where state healthcare regulations are stricter than other states, and they have an individual mandate that comes with actual penalties. They are one of the least evil health insurance companies, but they are still health insurance, an inherently evil concept that leeches value from the healthcare industry at the cost of human lives.
That’s not to say any of them deserve death. But if the death of one is making them all reconsider their life choices, then we’ll call that a silver lining in a dark cloud.

Its not just CA regs, Kaiser is an enclosed ecosystem. The doctors, facilities, insurance, is all the same company.
Which, itself, causes a lot of problems.
