#kaiserpermanente is the worst. Completely incompetent bureaucrats pinching pennies, delaying care and clogging up our health system with overpaid management and executives. I hate them with the passion of a thousand suns.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
