If I don't like the shape of my nose, then Kaiser will fix it. After I
sign the paper saying that I will pay 100% of the cost. If I want
Viagra, then Kaiser will give it to me. Either my plan agrees to a fee
hike, or I pay the full price when I pick it up at the pharmacy. When I
signed up for Kaiser, Viagra didn't exist. That doesn't sound like
fraud to me. If I expect Kaiser to provide recreational drugs at little
or no cost, I will be disappointed.
