Kaiser Permanente's Duty to Die Ethic

Should the Kaiser Patient Really only Trust a machine to perform a breast exam or should the
patient insist on a physician examination and a mammogram if the doctor orders it?

Please also review two documents located at: http://selfincrimination.kaiserpapers.org/
Both indicate that the Permanente Physician, both vested and the Pool docs are contracturally
obligated to act against the well being of the public.  Under no circumstances may a physician of the Permanente involved in any government program, whether serving a voluntary position or in a position of regulatory influence find wrong doing with Kaiser.  

The Great Kaiser Shame and Disgrace What they tried to get away with in Texas. Slow reading but well worth your time.  It's called Managed Care Liability in Texas


Insightful articles that present a mirror into the mind set of the average Permanente Physician.  It's All About How they make "Their" Money.

1 percent of a health plan’s members typically account for 30 percent or  more of its costs and that 5 percent of its members generate 50 percent of its costs.  -

Kaiser Permanente's basic organizational chart.  The names change frequentlybut that isn't
important.  What is important is that the basic structure remains the same.

The State of Minnesota Attorney General's Office - Lori Swanson, Attorney General Report -

Kaiser Medical Treatment Documents

1999 - The Sensitivity and Specificity of Forecasting High-Cost Users of Medical Care

Examination of Article K
Article K for the Permanente Physician:

• Article K is a document that both Kaiser and Permanente go out of their way to hide from 
• the public.  They intentionally try to omit this document from all legal proceedings.  It was 
• obtained as part of the Medical Service Agreement legal papers from Johnson County, 
• Kansas Civil court Department.

The document that best proves the ongoing 50:50 profit split is the KP contract that spilled into
the Kansas City court papers in Johnson County as Kansas City Kaiser failed.  This year's profit split may net the Permaente docs close to $1 billion!!!  This is above salaries of $22,000 a month average per partner, forgiven home loans, and 25% benefit package.This money accumulates under the plan - immune from all outsiders even bankruptcy trustees - until the Kaiser doc proves himself or herself by vesting to 20 years, keeping silent forever, and never turning against the Permanente Culture.  Once you are in, don't try to get out - til death do us part. http://businesspractices.kaiserpapers.org/articlek.html
