In reply to the discussion: Tucked into the relief bill: A BAN on most "surprise medical bills." [View all]Politicub
(12,309 posts)38. Kaiser sent a taxi cab to ferry my husband from the the out-of-network ER
he went to for a kidney stone, to the nearest Kaiser hospital.
Kaiser is great if youre in Northern California (maybe Southern, too). Its offered here in Atlanta on the ACA exchange and Medicare advantage, but there are few facilities. People seem to really like it once they get used to its system.
