From the L.A. Times:
Two Kaiser Permanente patients filed suit Monday against the giant HMO following the suspension of its Northern California kidney transplant program.
The suit was filed by Irvine lawyer Lawrence Eisenberg on behalf of patients Lurena Fiore and Debra Adams, but it is seeking class-action status. It claims negligence, fraud and misrepresentation, and conspiracy.
A Kaiser spokesman said he had not seen the lawsuit and could not comment on it. At least one other similar suit was filed against the HMO last month.
Hopefully this is the beginning of serious patient solidarity, and Kaiser will finally start to feel obliged to respond to patient complaints and proactively address patient needs. Kaiser members have spent way too long just handing over their paychecks to the Kaiser fatcats.
Amen!
Kaiser has not punished the mastermind behind the scandal. Dr. Sharon “the murderer” Inokuchi needs to be fired from Kaiser. She has deceived my father and thousands of other transplant candidates. Email her to express your outrage!!! Kaiser email address is usually the person’s name (i.e. Jane.Doe@kp.org ). May God have pity on her!!!!!!
Dr. Todd B Zoltan did not care for me as a person. I complain for a period of months of having lumps in breast and armpit. Am a plus size woman so he used that as an excuse he kept on saying that it was fat and now I have been diagnose with breast cancer stage two at age 28.

Quote by Elie Wiesel
“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented”.
Dan Rather and Nancy Scheper-Hughes have taken on a story that has not been “told like it is” since a New York Daily News article came out on July 25, 2009.
Shame on the evil people exposed in this story. RAMPANT GREED (Money=God) is THE number one problem in our world today. Money is truly the root of all evil.
