California Assemblymember Mia Bonta expressed disappointment when Kaiser Permanente declined to attend an informational hearing on its behavioral health services. She read a letter from Kaiser, criticizing the lack of direct engagement on how the healthcare giant supports Californians. With over 9 million insured by Kaiser, concerns have risen regarding its violations of state mental health laws, leading to past fines and settlements. The hearing featured insights from union representatives, legislators, and patients, emphasizing the significance of Kaiser's absence in addressing these serious issues.
One in four Californians - more than 9 million people - are insured by the health plan, the state's largest. In recent years, it has come under fire for violations of state mental health laws.
I'm also disappointed that Kaiser is not here to speak for themselves. But I also think their absence speaks volumes.
