A whopping $49 million dollar fine...That'll larn em! While profit and loss changes from year to year and Kaiser posted losses for 2021 and 2022(gee I wonder what happened then) for 2023 it is a dramatically different story.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, landed at $1.2 billion, up from a $961 million loss reported during the same period in 2022, the organization shared Friday evening in a press release.
I don't think the fine is much of a deterrent and I'm sure that the Kaiser personnel at the top of the locations committing those grave offenses were well aware of what was occurring and no doubt were rewarded with hefty bonuses for their...cost cutting successes.
Oh a disclaimer, I detest Kaiser, I received substandard treatment from them which led to greater injuries to my spine, they are above all else in search of profit.
