Doubleclick, just means they're running ad campaigns on Google, targeting pages on kp.org. It's standard practice for health insurers' websites, like kp.org.

I personally have no problem with this. I’ve worked in this space in health care and understanding how these metrics are used.

It’s no different than running Webtrends on a website. Companies want to know how people interact with sites and the methods as to how they arrive.
