[One of the more disturbing patterns that has emerged over four years of tracking Kaiser's many misdeeds, is that patients with very real and serious medical problems are often misdiagnosed with mental health issues, leading to much unnecessary suffering, and sometimes death. A few recent examples are the cases of Jupirena Stein, Craig Pozzi, [...]

[The most appalling thing about the needless death of this Kaiser member -- who suffocated and died due to a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic -- is that the Kaiser doctor and nurses that were present didn't know what to do to save her. They called 911 instead, and the patient wasn't given what [...]

Ian Bogost of Kotaku has written a not so healthy review of Kaiser Permanente’s much hyped new health game for kids, the Incredible Adventures of the Amazing Food Detective. It’s nice to know we’re not the only ones who recognize Kaiser PRBS? when we see it:
Kaiser is a big company with a lot of money, [...]

[We're practically speechless, so we'll just ask one question: How can a non-profit double its net income -- with zero membership growth -- and still call itself a non-profit?]
From San Francisco Business Times:
Kaiser Permanente’s 9-months’ profit more than doubles to $2.5 billion
by Chris Rauber
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc., Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and their subsidiaries announced [...]

[Another day, another lawsuit settled. In an unprecedented move Kaiser Permanente admitted no liability, even while handing over the check. Ha ha. That was supposed to be funny, but it's difficult to see the humor when you realize that there are real human lives that are being disrupted -- and in some cases ruined or [...]

[In early September we posted a letter written by Kaiser victim Jupirena Stein, that had been previously mailed to Kaiser CEO George Halvorson. Ms. Stein's health has literally been ruined by a botched surgery at Kaiser, and over a six year period she has collected extensive documentation supporting her claims. Halvorson's response? [...]

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Doctor admits to perjury in trial of man he sponsored in drug rehab
Heather Knight, Chronicle Staff Writer
A San Francisco surgeon has pleaded guilty to perjury, admitting he lied under oath in an effort to get a man he had sponsored in a drug rehabilitation program off the hook for gun charges.
Bruce [...]

It’s our guess that most Kaiser Permanente members aren’t aware that Kaiser was run out of Texas like a stray dog with its tail between its legs, but that is about to change, thanks to Vickie Travis and The Kaiser Papers:
In 1997 the State of Texas, Division of Insurance took formal action against Kaiser Permanente. [...]

[kaiserthrive.org editor's note: Surprise, surprise! Kaiser Permanente spits in the face of its victims once again, with another empty expression of sympathy while refusing to take responsibility for killing yet another innocent Kaiser member. Do you suppose this is what they mean by "Thrive"? An even bigger surprise is that George Halvorson can't [...]

[The only thing more reprehensible than Kaiser's failure to protect its patients from this known repeat malpractice offender, is its PRBS release defending its despicable actions. Kaiser Thrive Exposed joins Justen Deal in his demand for the resignation of The Permanente Medical Group CEO, and lead obfuscater, Dr. Robert Pearl. In the meantime, Kaiser [...]
