When most people talk about health care coverage, what they usually mean is health insurance. Most “health plans” sold in Hawaii—and across the nation—are simply medical insurance policies, betting that the cost of you getting sick is less than the profits generated by the premiums you pay.

Kaiser Permanente’s distinct approach to health care sets them apart from other health plan providers. Kaiser Permanente members and their personal physicians work together to decide what it takes to get healthy and stay healthy. And members don’t just work with their primary doctor. They have the support of an entire health care team, including nurses, specialists, pharmacists, and health educators, to create a seamless care experience.
