My name is Lawrence Bucher and like many who find themselves in the position of electing (choosing) from a multitude of providers in which Marriott (like many other corporation in CA) leaves employees and their spouses to select from, the best bang-for-the-buck was, without fail was KAISER PERMANENTE. From the beginning; signing up and under the not so user friendly and deeply disconnected routine of KP.ORG, the process from the word "go" I felt little other than a car going through a Jiffy Lube, being routinely asked questions like, "how many days a week do you work out" from the nurse with the glossed-over catatonic look on their face-- which came from asking this routine question over and over again. Indeed there was something missing. My story (upon request) was this first of many incidents which left me coming to a rather quick and disturbing conclusion: Kaiser’s business plan is to maximize the amount of patients doctor can see and to detour and cut expenses; deeper patient evaluation, scans, etc. KAISER PERMANENTE is little other than a classic case of a corporate push for market dominance/power and this push is made through many of the local corporation in the State of California and Kaiser members’ premium dollars ultimately pay for that corporate expansion. And while there is no way to end KAISER PERMANENTE, we can however, as a community force a greater health care system to the surface, as opposed to what's been brought to the surface through said corporate take-over: Another self serving Insurance company.                           Please, if you or your spouse, or if you know someone with a not-so great story of a KAISER PERMANENTE or if you are simply tired of corporations who look out for their bottom line and in turn render employees with this not-so option of sub-standard Health care, please sign this petition. KAISER PERMANENTE SHOULD NOT BE AN ELLECTIVE IN YOUR CORPORATION OR  OTHERS~ Lawrence www.imdb.com/name/nm1197142/​ www.facebook.com/Lawrence.Bucher
