It used to be called "bad faith." I can cite horror stories, but would rather not.
Now it's called "normal practice".

Kaiser-Permanente, with all its faults, and other pre-paid medical plans are, I think, the direction I think we should be taking.

Dear Dog, spare me!

Or, as a number of people I know have said "I wouldn't take a dog to Kaiser."

Remember Bob? His diabetic girlfriend that he married a few months before she died of a raging infection following multiple amputations consequent to that diabetes? There is suspicion by many, not just me, that had Kaiser taken the situation seriosly at the start (You shouldn't take failing peripheral circulation and consequent infections in a diabetic seriously?) and had prescribed SERIOUS (but expensive) antibiotics and a few other drugs, she'd still be alive.
