This is not isolated. We are also constantly forced to fight with them to keep them from dumping patients that are over the age of 65 and on medicare to fast. one day after five heart stent placements? come on! Still bleeding from the rectum with a H&H at 9 with IVF?sent back to us, no discharge paperwork and half an hour notice, charging the family for transport. They make me sick. i spend all day fighting with them to get my residents care. We recently had a death from a man whose kaiser physician would not give PT or see him for the steady and quick decline in strength, only to see him one day...we finally got his doctor switched the next, she found out he needed two pints of blood and then he died two days later.

Those doctors should not be practice anymore period. Let's clean the health care system fast before it is completely collapse right in front of our eyes. Bier said " American health care was devil " I am soo agree with his statement.

Still baffled how a "health care organization" can do business by actually preventing, delaying and denying health care. This is NOT health care. Kaiser should just go away and make room for an ethical group that actually will do what they are supposed to do, which is to PROVIDE CARE. I'm looking forward to the day when they are hit with the big one, instead of chump change. Then we will see who is laughing. I'm hoping their pocket book is hit so deep they won't be able to afford any more false advertising.

I even used the exact term "chump change" when I was discussing this earlier today. However, every little bit helps with regard to the charges whether the dollar amount matters or not. Agreed.

KP is probably laughing all the way to the bank while a child was denied treatment. Shamefull, but not surprising. Unfortunately, $75,000 is chump change for Kaiser.
