The fact is that our (health care) delivery system is flawed. Many of us do not have an optimistic outlook. |
The population is growing, and Medicaid doesn't keep up with inflation. It's nice to have Kaiser's help. |
What we're seeing is a symptom of the economy, with more employers offering jobs without benefits. Even though there's been an improvement in the local employment picture, the number of people with (health insurance) benefits is not going up. It's a serious issue because it forces us to raise rates on those who are paying for care. |
