I had Kaiser for a year and I actually enjoyed it. I saw a couple specialist but I never had any major work done so perhaps I am biased. It is funny to say it since I believe Kaiser originally was one of the opponents of a single payer system but using Kaiser kind of felt like what a government health care system should be. Very low friction. Oh I need blood work or whatever done, walk down the hall. Everything felt more convenient.
- hellbannedguy 5y agoIt is so much better than driving office to office while not feeling well. Dealing with ego. Dealing with huge bills even when having good insurance. I sometimes hear people talk about doctors like they are going to cure you when you need them. The older I get, the more I see the profession as an art. I remember Lance Armstrong commenting on his cancer treatment. He basically said he knew he had the best medical care because of his wealth. He said driving from doctor to doctor was just depressing/agonizing, and he felt it was unnessary.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoSame here. I enjoyed knowing there is one place where I can go and have everything done. They also sent reminders about vaccinations and checkups. I have moved away from CA so I don't have Kaiser anymore. I generally rarely go to a doctor and if I ever get sick I don't even know where to go :-(
