If we had socialized medicine like my local Kaiser, I would be so excited. I honestly haven't been treated anywhere else with the same level of care and concern. I used to hate doctors because of bad experience, but the Kaiser system convinced me to take care of myself on a routine basis. Just one opinion, but thought I'd share.

Glad it worked for you. I've had both good and terrible experiences at Kaiser (in pretty serious circumstances such as major op and post-op experiences), and a similar spectrum at other HMOs. I don't think Kaiser is a panacea, although I agree single-payer looks like the only way to fix the systemic economic issues and Kaiser is a bit closer to that model than other HMOs.
