Kaiser Permanente

Since KP worked so hard to make the ACA the universal plan, their work has dropped thru the floor. The doctors are hard to see, and the time limit is 7 minutes. Not so good if you have a disease that is bringing your last days around quickly.

The pharmacies have reduced the amount from a 90 day supply to a 1 month supply. And they have tripled the prices for each medication. And then, knowing I am on a fixed income, get mad at me for not buying the medications they prescribe to keep my lungs, and other organs working.
My wife wants me to stay with them, but I ask why. For emphysema they make it so you can live longer, as you struggle to inhale each breath, and don't have money for rent or food, or 1/2 of the medications they want you to take.
Loma Linda, California has a plan that works toward reducing the Emphysema. Tomorrow I am heading over to them. They did a great job with our children, and worked with us so we were able to give them what they needed.
Today my wife went to pick up a 90 supply of medications for our son. They charged me $1.75 two days ago. I was told if Medicare/Medicaid would pay for it, I would be reimbursed the $1.75.
They charged her $7.00 for a 30 day supply today. My wife doesn't keep receipts, and she tossed the one I had two days ago, We don't use credit cards, cash only so I have no evidence.
Yes, I am quite upset.
Kaiser Permanente was a great plan when my monthly premium of $4,750.00, plus $20.00 co-pay was being paid, before disability forced me to retire.

My suggestion, if you need healthcare or doctors, this is not the place to go.

Listen Americans, if you think this money making enterprise wants to help you, you are totally wrong. This is basically, a money making machine: They just support the pharmaceutical money making machine. MY sister was killed by Kaiser permanente: They knew that the chemotherapy was not going to save her but they did not care even though I complained: Chemotherapy is a killing therapy but makes billions of dollars. Also, in my case, they did not want to offer me a doctor that I needed: They just put me a "young", supposed a doctor, VERY SICK, maybe coming from Pakistan or some of these countries abused by the system, and Kaiser DID NOT offer me any possible of the many therapies: This is the truth. KAISER PERMANENTE is a criminal money making machine.
