Last time I checked, not-for-profits weren't supposed to spend their money purchasing books to boost sales to make their CEO look good--they were supposed to spend them on patient care. Bet you won't see that regulation written into Schwarzenegger's reform bill either. Go figure.

It's a frequently used bully tactic, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't mean it that way. I will read George's book if I can get it free at the library, or when people start dumping their copies on eBay for a quarter.

When did I do that? Perhaps reacting to the name I chose to use. That was a stupid thing to call myself. I see and hear why you gotta hate on KP. It is just that I think sometimes the hate and rage is not a very good emotional starting point to udnerstand the issues going on in healthcare today. So..I only ask that you work towards some objectivity to listen what leaders (and yes George is a leader in this field) have to say about it. So, if you could give the book a read in this fashion...I would like to hear what you think about it. Someone mentioned I was name calling. When did I do that?

Kaiser Victim here... Wanted to respond to your question regarding George's newest comedy piece, his umm, book. I've got lots of time on my hands now to read since Kaiser did, in fact, kill my baby. I don't have my baby here to raise so I guess, for entertainment purposes, i'll give George's book a read. I expect it to be quite an entertainingly funny book though cuz I imagine NONE of it will be true. It's another feeble attempt to make KP look great which any Kaiser Victim can attest to, is SIMPLY not true. Maybe while George is trying to jump on the healthcare bandwagon he'll fall and scrape his knee and have to go to Kaiser for care. Now that would be funny. Hey there WhyYouGottaHateOnKP?

If he is having a hard time selling his pack of lies about health care reform, maybe it's because he can't even reform his own organization. And if you're going to resort to name calling, please get it right: make that <strong>Kaiser Victims</strong>. You know, people who have been maimed by Kaiser; had family members killed by Kaiser; been re-victimized by Kaiser lawyers in rigged arbitration; perhaps even had their medical records tampered with to cover up yet another scandal at Kaiser Permanente. THAT kind of victim. How many people did you victimize today? Hello Kaiser employee…are you taking a survey for George?
