Ditched my BlueShield PPO for Kaiser and costs went down dramatically. There's tons of costs to be saved in healthcare and glad to see the private sector making an effort.
- colmvp 9y agoI tried applying to Kaiser and they rejected me for having a pre-existing condition which couldn't be helped given that I was born with it. Good for everyone else, I guess. :/ I ended up moving back home where the government covers my treatments.
- DrJaws 9y agoThey are a business not an ONG. US is a shithole country in relation to healthcare systems
- pcurve 9y agoisn't that illegal now?
- everdev 9y agoThat was my understanding as well.

- pcurve 9y agothe tactic doesn't involve denying coverage though. The poster above said he/she was rejected.

- randyrand 9y agoSide note, but I really think pre-existing conditions should be covered by welfare, not private corporations who have the requirement of turning a profit.
