Kaiser WTF?

I suppose I should be directing this at my employer, who changed our Kaiser plan. I just spent last week home, and abed, because of a flu. Monday - Wednesday saw a 100-101 fever that was barely controllable with Tylenol/Advil alternated every four hours, a nasty headache, and a cough.

Enter Kaiser.

I called Kaiser on Monday, and saw my doctor on Thursday. The total: $40 for a small bottle of cough syrup.

Copay for doctor visit: $20.00
Copay for blood test doctor ordered: $10.00
Copay for tiny bottle of cough syrup: $9.00
Total for SINGLE VISIT: $39.00

Un. Believable.
