Is all about the money only.

"An upper-level Kaiser employee explained to me why Kaiser will not help Lyme disease victims. This person, and the spouse of this person, both have chronic Lyme disease. They have to go to a non-Kaiser doctor for treatment and pay out-of-pocket. This person explained that Kaiser views Lyme disease in the same context as AIDS only that Lyme disease is far more common and the risk exposure far greater. AIDS has been and is a large cash drain for Kaiser and they don’t want to repeat the experience. So their solution is not to diagnose in the first place or to severely limit Lyme diagnoses. This explanation is consistent with Kaiser’s behavior – it’s about money."

This myth about the swine flu vacine being in short suppy is just that a myth. Last night I bought ten doses for my family and friends from a guy in the SF. He charges $40 a dose. He throws in the needles.

Do they still admit sick children? There is nothing but pure genius coming from that place. Good job adding to the hysteria Kaiser. Let's keep the snot nosed little kids at bay. We wouldn't want them messing up our good lives.
