    Fuckin USA healthcare. I don’t care what anybody says, Kaiser Permanente having the insurance company and the health care provider unified is good for human wellbeing because it aligns the incentives of the insurance company and care providers.

    My first kid was born at KP and cost like $300 out of pocket. My second kid was born with Blue Shield and cost like $20,000. Both were c-sections with a multi-day recovery due to complications, and the complications on the first were life threatening. Even the food in the Kp kitchen was amazing. I literally would’ve just gone there to eat.
