My family’s Kaiser policy was just cancelled because we live “outside the service area” however we have ALWAYS lived here (for 20 years and never lied about it). They have been happy to take our premiums all these years. I had 3 surgeries in the last 2 years. 10 months after the last one we received notice that our policy was terminated. Coincidence? I don’t believe that for a minute!

I have been offered a new job; while I have insurance, I cover my husband as a dependent. I wanted to try and convert my Kaiser plan for my husband to one we pay for ourselves because I won’t be using Kaiser myself anymore. I was told by Kaiser that they would reject him because he had a “preexisting condition” (diabetes), even though Kaiser has been treating him for years. I am beyond contempt for Kaiser. Every time I see one of their “Thrive” commercials, I want to kick the TV set in. With this health insurance reform, perhaps it will finally become illegal to reject people. What are we supposed to do, die? This is sick -

I was dropped from Kaiser in 2003 after 18 years of coverage because of a billing discrpency with a billing agency GHBA. I appeared that despite being paid through 2003, GHBA had not recorded a payment since 2000! After appealing the drop, Kaiser said I needed only to reapply. When I did, they then canceled me for a poor weight-height ratio! The same weight and height I have been since 1986. Their continued response to me, now that Obama is stressing universal health care, is keep applying and maybe our underwriters will change their minds. In the meantime, having had them cancel my insurance, I am not a liability or considered “uninsurable” or “at risk” by other insurers. This has led me to believe I am better off at a local health clinic than with these morons! Sorry to the rest of you dealing with Kaiser.

Kaiser was still illegally rescinding policies in mid 2008. I know this for a fact and have all the information necessary to prove it. Kaiser VP Jerry Fleming signed an attestation with DMHC stating that the illegal rescissions had stopped, when in fact they had NOT been stopped and Fleming was fully aware of it.

Watch Sicko and you realize that insurance companies aim for profit. Why are you surprised?

Get out the country to get your medical treatment. Let Medical tourism thrive.

My wife was dropped from kaiser a couple of months ago because she was one day late on the single check she sent for us both. We have been kaiser members since 1968, 40 years. Can someone help get her reinstated, I have not had any luck with their procedure and her health is failing as I write this. Urgent need of outside help before she passes due to lack of treatment. Kaiser was born without a heart. Respond please, thanks.

for 3 months we have been ripped apart by kaisers lake of competence. We have been dropped from the policy we were recently on and even had a letter from our Dr’s for a clean-bill-of-health that they asked for, only to receive a denial again, again, and again.

Let me guess… kaiser finds a perceived “lie” on an insurance application which then gives them a “reason” to cancel an “insurance” policy all the while they are perjuring themselves in their many malpractice cases filed against them.

Hmm, i’d say it’s high time alot of investigations get underway. Why do Kaiser members have to be so honest when filling out applications when kaiser THRIVES on fraud and deception? Decency and the truth is foreign to kaiser, I don’t care what kind of a lame excuse they give for a rescission.

In addition to people having their policies canceled, Arnold needs to be looking at the many other ways the people of California are being screwed, such as a justice system that condones the “loss” of medical records and allowing false testimony and perjury in kaiser malpractice cases.

You could look at it this way, a rescission from kaiser might be a blessing in disguise, it might actually SAVE your life and get you out from under the kaiser curse.
