    Kaiser fucking sucks, they will force you to only go to their facilities which are usually spread pretty far apart, and if you don’t go to their facilities they will try not to cover the bill and in some places have a complete monopoly on employer provided healthcare which further forces people to have to bend in all kinds of different ways just to get their healthcare

      Yeah I had Kaiser then switched because of the sorry excuse for a surgeon they trotted out for me.

      where do you live? Around the DC area, there are tons of Kaiser facilities, so it's easy. Plus, I personally don't mind going to only Kaiser facilities in exchange for paying basically nothing, having all my care centralized, and no insurance bullshit?

      Also, isn't this essentially the same as how things would work if we had an NHS?

        Where do you live :fedposting:

        Jk but I live in Washington and most of their facilities are compounded in the Seattle area, they do have a certain distance where they won’t make you go to a kaiser facility but it’s way too much As for it being like the nhs idk I guess but if America implemented socialized healthcare(lol never gonna happen) I would want it to apply to all healthcare facilities not just their specific facilities. It may work for the nhs but Britain is tiny and much less spread out compared to America
