I've been with Kaiser since forever. The primary care guy I had retired after he was my physician for 24 years. He was 35 when I started with him & now is 59. I had to choose another primary car person and am on my second, which I think I'll stay with. It's sort of a production situation as far as care is oncerned, but I'm only interested in getting in & out quickly & with minimum time & interaction. My wife complained her face was numb some years ago at night. I took her to the nearest hospital ER, which was out of the Kaiser network which had a facility about seven miles further down the road. She was there for four hours at a cost of $2K, which Kaiser paid for. I woke up last year with a swollen upper lip. My wife got very bothered sayiing my face was sagging & harranged me until I went to the main Kaiser hospital. I told them my wife thought I'd had a possible stroke. They took me in immediately, kept me over night, subjected me to a million scans, tests, & checks, said I was OK and let me go. Later on I got a statement for almost $15K of which I had to pay $90. I don't think I'd be interested in changing health care provider.
