I'm hoping to retire next year right after I turn 58. I'll be losing employer provided HC coverage, which is all we know. My wife and I have enjoyed a PPO plan for 3 decades and now, because of cost all out of pocket, we're going to have to choose Kaiser.
My brother is a Kaiser doc and of course he swears by the organization. He said where else can you see your doc, get your blood drawn and get meds all in one building. I dunno though. Won't I feel like just another number? My current doc knows me very well as does the one specialist I see every quarter. Will I get the same attention from Kaiser docs? Can I see one next day without having to go to the ER? Also, our son has Down Syndrome and he sees a couple of specialists in addition to his pediatrician.
Please let me know your Kaiser experience. Thanks.
