I pay Kaiser 1.9k a month, it takes 3 months to get a doctors appointment.

The revolution can't come soon enough.

Where do you live? I've never had a bad experience with Kaiser in northern CA. Both of my children cost me $250 total for their entire pre-natal care and birth, all preventative care is free of co-pays, any time I call for an appointment there are multiple slots that day or in the next 3, prescriptions are filled in the in-clinic pharmacy or mailed to you if you prefer, consultancy can happen by phone, e-mail or in person... it seems way better than any other insurance I've had.

So Cal. County of Riverside. Our daughter was seriously ill and the by phone consultancy took over 24 hours to call us back. By that time, of course, we'd been to the hospital.

It took 3 months to get a 10 min immunization appointment. The county contributes ~9xx dollars as do we. Our medical care literally is 8x my last car payment per month.
