Kaiser Does the Usual: Deny, Deny, Deny... Kaiser Thrive pointed out that Kaiser has lost its good standing with UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) for "effectively denied patient access to kidney transplantation and threatened safety for patients on its waiting list." The L.A. Times article quotes Dr. Sue V. McDiarmid, president of UNOS:
At the time [of heavy press coverage], a top official of the HMO publicly apologized for the problems. But during the closed-door hearing Wednesday, Kaiser representatives struck a different tone...."I wouldn't characterize their position to us as acknowledging major errors," McDiarmid said. At times, she said, Kaiser officials actually denied that there had been serious lapses.
