The L.A. Times just came out with the most recent Kaiser story -

LOS ANGELES -- Kaiser Permanente will be assessed a record fine Thursday for its haphazard investigations of questionable care, physician performance and patient complaints at its California hospitals, state HMO regulators said Wednesday.
The California Department of Managed Health Care said it will levy a $3 million fine against Kaiser, the largest health maintenance organization in the state, with 29 medical centers and more than 6 million members. If Kaiser makes necessary improvements, agency director Cindy Ehnes said, she will forgive $1 million of that.
I am sure that the families that lost loved ones because of the crappy Kaiser Kare, especially those that were stuck in their only in name Kidney Transplant Program, are really elated to see this turn of justice or whatever it is that DMHC is calling it that they are doing up in Sacramento.
We are all supposed to believe that Kaiser is suffering from this teeny tiny fine. This corporation that nationwide had revenue of $34.4 billion last year and a net income of $1.3 billion and with most of it's patients in California is probably standing back laughing at what DMHC has become.
If so many people in California government positions weren't profiting off of Kaiser associations and donations I would think that this state was just incompetent.
