Once upon a time a beautiful
young lady worked in the office of Mr.
Zev Yaroslavsky who is a member of the County of Los Angeles Board of
Supervisors.
In fact when this young lady got married she asked if Mr.Yaroslavsky
would
do the honors and he consented.

For a
while all was well and then one day Robyn developed a backache
that would not go away and she went to her health care
provider,
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan who contracts for actual medical care
with
The Permanente Medical Group and because of a special affiliation with
the county of Los Angeles is offered free or for a very low cost to the
employees. They operate as one single unit, sharing both
funds and
information but are designated by the IRS as two separate
entities.
A for profit and a not for profit entity operating as a single unit
passing
themselves off on the public with advertising they refer to themselves
as - Kaiser Permanente, a name not recognized as an actual business by
the IRS.
The following is what transpired and it isn't pretty.
The Pleas for Medical assistance. The Actual Arbitration Report from DMHC on this arbitration http://www.hmohelp.ca.gov/library/arbitrations/enrollee/2002/q2/05/05-24-02.pdf The attorney that handled the case and final papers - close to $1,000,000 awarded to Robyn About Robyn Response to lack of enforcement of California Law from Dr. Harvey Frey As told by Station KEYT-Santa Barbara on September 23, 2005On August 25, 2005 The Levy Family received in the mail the following letter from DMHC. Previously DMHC found that Kaiser had done nothing incorrect. I have always been under the impression, as have most people in this state that the job of DMHC was to protect the patient by enforcing the laws under which they are legally obligated to operate. Instead, 6 months after the death of their daughter DMHC writes rudely and cruely the following to the Levy's. This sure is the Wild West, where semantics are openly played and enforcement of health related regulations is next to nil. At this point I am wondering what exactly it is that DMHC does do. Rude public servants should be examined closely and trained as to how to conduct themselves when dealing with the public.
