Kaiser is a huge organization. I worked there for 9 years. As time passed, the entire corporation became increasingly obsessed with quantity, rather than quality. They are the creators of “stopwatch medicine” and “doing more with less”. To see it in action, visit one of their nightly “urgent appointment clinics”; whenever you force humans, including doctors, to work faster than they should mistakes can happen!
If a person is young and healthy and seldom needs medical attention, Kaiser insurance may be a safe bet; however, if you need them more regularly or for more serious problems, they may only deliver the level of care that you are willing to accept. If you accept less, they will give you less. If you don’t know what you need or are in no condition to act as your own advocate then Kaiser might not be appropriate for you.
