(c)2006 I am a member of Kaiser Permanente. They frequently ask their members for comments on services rendered. Though this cartoon is not completely accurate,...it's close enough to express my comments of Kaiser's administration of funds provided by member premiums. The Martinez facility is not completely closed,...yet, but there is very little left there. It's more like a clinic now. Yet back in 1989 it was a fully functioning hospital with a newly built million plus dollar car garage on the premises. What's happened to health care? Have expenses gone up so much that hospitals need to be closed? I am not in favor of nationalizing the U.S. health care industry,...but something does need to be done! ....and fast!!! :O(
