How Kaiser and Other Managed Care Organizations Operate
It is a sad truth: Kaiser Permanente and other managed care organizations have one primary goal, and that is to maximize their own profits. Sometimes they do this by denying necessary care to suffering individuals. They also structure policies to limit the compensation available to victims of substandard care. In our opinion, they are not on the side of the consumer. They are not there to help you. They are in business to make as much money as possible, regardless of the consequences to the people they are intended to serve.
Maximizing Profits by Limiting Patients' Rights
Many people who are insured by Kaiser Permanente do not realize that their rights and options may be seriously limited in seeking recovery for injuries or loss caused by medical malpractice. Like many managed care organizations, Kaiser's policies are written in such a way that they prohibit policyholders from filing a lawsuit for damages in civil court. Instead, individuals and families who have suffered must go through arbitration — a process that is often stacked in the favor of the company.
