    Everyone says Kaiser is pretty good though, just limited to where most of us aren’t.

    Isn’t Kaiser Permanente the one with the highest approval rate for procedures?

    I’d have thought you would start at the bottom and work up.

      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.

      Kaiser isn’t a typical insurance company though. They’re an HMO. Which means they tell you what doctor you can go to. Think you need to see a specialist? Too bad, the general practitioner doesn’t think it’s necessary.

      So they deny a lot of claims by preventing you from going to the right doctor in the first place.
