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. This action and the resultant Kaiser ceasing of conduct was the start of serious financial concerns for the Permanente.
This information is just as relevant as the Nixon tapes are. Do not allow anyone to try to tell you differently.
This is one of the key actions that resulted in numerous patient deaths, for the next several years.
In this instance Kaiser had been found to be deceiving the public, harming the public and endangering the public and the people of Texas did not like it. The standard Kaiser excuse of poverty just didn’t work for them in Texas. The people of Texas also have a very long memory.
The State of Texas has provided to us the documents showing why the Insurance Commissioner took the steps that he did, what he did and what Kaiser had to do. I wish that the state of California would do something solid like this instead of being a bunch of wishy, washy fools.
The text version leads on the following page. Following the text are the actual documents. Again why can’t California be grown up enough to do the same?
Kaiser Thrive Exposed would like to personally thank Dr. Geoff Galbraith - Kaiser Permanente Care Management Institute board member; and Vice President, Hawaii Permanente Medical Group, Quality Improvement Management - for inspiring us to create this website. Did we make it into the top 5?
OH I love it. $1 million dollar fine for an administrative penalty! The State of California needs to have such a backbone!
Yeah, where has California been when you need em.’
Is California even aware of this? I’m glad Texas knows
the difference between right and wrong.
btw, I like that little “click on the broccoil to view the
documents.” I’ll never look at broccoli the same again.
Go texas.
I have no choice except Kaiser. I could write a two volume book of their wrongs, omissions, downright lies - all killing me and two of my friends. Don’t expect them to tell you the TRUTH about lab and x-ray results. They are all in cahoots. If they see something ‘expensive and time consuming’ about your complaints, they either tell you the results are within normal range.’ Or, they tell you it’s in your head and maybe you should see a shrink (also in cahoots). When you ask for copy of your records, that’s where the omissions and CHANGES reveal themselves. You have nothing with which to prove your claim. So you become anxious and depressed; Kaiser loves that. Oh, “Mrs. Smith’ just suffers from major anxiety disorder; nothing else is wrong with her. My friend went through this to the point where she literally gave up and died after went blind because they gave the wrong medication. But of course they say not. Please get California realize this. Kaiser harms, Kaiser kills.
I was in Texas at the time when Kaiser was kicked out. About the best thing that the AG Dan Morales did there.
Funny enough, they still have a call center in Fort Worth, but are going to move it.
