I personally* have been very happy and impressed with Kaiser Permanente so far (honestly, they're an order of magnitude better than any HMO in Massachusetts)

but...

...major fail in scheduling w/ gastro. Can only do via phone, not online, hold times are utterly ridiculous and when I left a message to get a call back, never did.

(* yes I'm sure many people have issues with KP. Don't @ me)

Thousands of Kaiser Permanente workers across California and Hawaii are on strike as of Monday, January 26, after contract negotiations broke down last month and weren't restarted in time to avoid this action. Here's what we know so far. https://alamedapost.com/news/thousands-kaiser-employees-now-strike/

The #KaiserPermanente #privacy class action news is huge—they just settled the case and everyone who used the Kaiser sites and apps gets real money (not just "credit monitoring" or some bullshit)

And Kaiser didn't even fight it—which means lots more cases will be possible against other companies that passed people's info to Big Tech.

Say what you want about #CIPA but for a vintage law it's carrying right now
