I was with Kaiser for a long time because I never needed a doctor. When I did, I had to fire kaiser. They nearly killed me. Talking to my coworkers, it turns out this is quite common. They hire a lot of people that received their medical degree in countries with much lower standards. It's actually quite concerning how many people I know IRL that lost friends due to misdiagnosis by Kaiser. It doesn't help that you can't (easily) sue them. You agree to a non arbitration clause.

I see a lot of folks praising KP in this post and it's very concerning.

If you want to convince me, show me the relevant statistics. Medical errors are not unknown from other health providers.

I am not looking to convince anyone. I know what I experienced. My friends know what they experienced. That is more than enough for me to have left KP and to warn my friends regarding my experiences. I have advised various agencies of my experiences.
