I've noticed that a lot of people in this area like to complain that [[fill in name of health care group]] is deadly dangerous and can actually do more harm than good. The most popular is saying "Group Death" because OMG THAT IS SO WITTY I'M SO WITTY FOR THAT PLAY ON WORDS LOL

These people are all trained medical professionals.

For the record, my cousin is an anesthesiologist at both Stevens and Northwest.

I heart Northwest. I was born there and the one surgery I have had was there as well. I highly recommend them!

True, but there is something to be said for the bedside manner, expediency, and policies of a particular facility. They are all trained professionals, but a lot of places are just so poorly run and managed that you can't help but have a terrible experience, even if you end up having had adequate physical care.

largely true, but the administrative staff is a different issue. There are certain facilities I'd avoid like the plague given their propensity for misplacing, losing, or not forwarding medical records. When a hospital loses your MRI film you're screwed. I've even seen a case where a patient had a terminal case of cancer and nobody followed up on getting him in for treatment because the organization was just that bad.

I thought it was "Group Death" because of the extra emphasis on cost-cutting, which sometimes avoids expensive tests usually considered necessary and/or prudent in other health care plans.

and the fact that their customer service sucks ass. They are my current HMO, and I can't stand them.
