KP is more or less what one could expect from an integrated, universal health care system that is still forced to be competitive and value customer satisfaction..

Plus they have good incentives to do things like focus on preventative care because they lose money by having to treat vs clinics which will make money treating.
On the downside sometimes they try to deny treatments a little to eagerly, when I broke my clavicle, Kaiser suggested I could go without surgery, while a private practitioner said I needed immediate surgery, pronto, right now. Kaiser ultimately had me wait over the weekend 3 days before the surgeon got in on Monday. But the service itself was good.
