We're with Kaiser Permanente. I have this year been diagnosed with advanced, aggressive prostate cancer. My urologist, of course, works on Oahu (but does come to Kona one day a month for lower tech stuff, meetings with patients etc. He is a surgeon also, and all the high tech stuff has to be done on Oahu. Makes it extra hard on patients like me to have to deal with round trip flights along with all the rest. Kaiser does arrange for the flights and pays for them too, and they do a good job of it, and have a shuttle to and from the airport on Oahu.
About two weeks ago, I flew to Oahu, had a surgery, and flew back the same day. The following Monday flew to Oahu for a post-op checkup, and flew home. It's not going to get any easier the sicker I get.But, right now, I'm more worried about health care issues at the federal level.
