    Which is the real Kaiser?

    • L Kertesz.
    • Mod Healthc. 1997 Aug 25; 27 (34): 61-2, 64, 68-70.

    AbstractFans of Kaiser Permanente, the nation's oldest and largest HMO, consider the company a cost-effective healthcare delivery system that supports its patients, caregivers and the practice of high-quality medicine. Its detractors see Kaiser as an evil HMO empire that hoards money, mistreats doctors and skimps on care. The dichotomy shows that Kaiser is like a giant mirror, reflecting the struggles and uncertainties of the evolving U.S. healthcare system.
