Kaiser’s policies are pushing providers past their limits which puts patient safety at risk.
With Kaiser making $12.9 billion in net revenue & its CEO being paid over $12 million, Kaiser can afford to do better.

On World AIDS Day, we honor the lives of those lost to HIV and the resilience of those who have paved the way for progress.
We must continue to fight against cuts to treatment, prevention, and research.
Today is not just a day for remembrance — it's a call for action.
