I grew up in Kaiser. My dad was a department chief there. That was in the bay area.
I spent a lot of time listening to complaints growing up from my peers and their parents.

So far as I can tell, the biggest issue is that they are a big company and work out of big office buildings and therefore are not as personal. You have to get a referral. They don’t recommend holistic or alternative treatments. I once listed to a roommate explain to me how Kaiser had killed his father by taking him off a macrobiotic diet. Now I am of the opinion that eating organic sprout sandwiches was unlikely to cure his colon cancer but his frustration was that he did not feel listened to.

Thats a legitimate gripe (though I am not sure how it can be safely addressed).

However, I am willing to (as I suspect most consumers are) forgo seeing my specific physician in favor of seeing someone today or right away.

What are other gripes people have?
I am curious to hear.

I don’t think its politically viable, letters to congress or not, to avoid a government guarantee of the GSE’s.

Bailouts generally happen because those who don’t support them get voted out (by which I mean they lose office).

This is part of the problem with democracy.

It does not always sync with particular interests.

Okay so how did this post actually get on to a smart blog?

I mean there are lots of intelligent ways to criticize Obama.

These are not good arguments.

I will go and check some other thread.

[quote=Chance the Gardener]I had a history professor in undergrad (ca. 1989) that said we would all know the day Iran got nukes because on that day, one would land in Tel Aviv, one in Jerusalem and one in Haifa. He was a bit eccentric, but I think he might have been right.[/quote]

I don’t know if that is accurate but its an interesting idea.
I think the first time Iran got a nuke it would test it publicly to point out that it had parity with Israel. That would follow the example of the US and Russia and also of India and Pakistan.

Still its a compelling idea.
