In Response to My Previous Video on the Success of Kaiser Permanente, Multiple Viewers Asked, "If Kaiser is So Great, Why Is It Not in More Places in America?"

Great Question.

Kaiser Triedand Failedto Expand to Texas, North Carolina, New York and New England in the 1980s and 1990s. Kaiser Was Unsuccessful Because:

1) Kaiser did not have the local, large critical mass of members from a Union or Government Employees that is necessary to fund the doctors, clinics and hospitals in the early days of operations.

2) The local doctor and hospital communities were adversarial to the vertically integrated, HMO model of care.

That was over 20 years ago. Would Kaiser be more successful today if they tried to expand again? Who knows?
