By the way, do HMOs require cheap medical care or what is their primary responsibilty and or purpose? All I have heard are bad things. I was offered one here at work and chose to up it to a PPO.

A healthy woman undergoing cosmetic surgery should not have that type of complication. Either the surgical stress uncovered an unknown medical condition or someone fell asleep at the switch. I've seen both. Awful.
HMO's exist to make money. They make money by rationing care. Less access. Less options. More profit.
Think about applying the HMO model to Starbucks. You pay a yearly fee and Starbucks agrees to take care of all your coffee needs. Next thing is the local Starbucks is not part of your plan. When you find a participating Starbucks, the lines are long and there is only one sluggish "barista" working. They won't give you a latte. Your plan only covers a small black coffee. That's the HMO thing.
