This is not in response to the Kaiser article above, but just an FYI of what an Oahu nurse who works at Queens told me about Kaiser. She said that
1) they pay the doctors bonuses not to provide care
2) She has coworkers who had to cover shifts at Kaiser during the strike and were horrified at the lack of care, standard of care in the ICU there.
I've never been a fan of Kaiser, despite their PR ...
I know some people are happy with them, but I've heard too much negative.
She also said, re Big Island health care, that at Queens they deal with many patients who are flown over because the care on this island is inadequate. I already knew that, but I just thought I'd provide confirmation from someone who works in the system and sees it on a daily basis.
