Kaiser’s apology

Re “Kaiser Official Apologizes,” May 11

Kaiser Permanente’s apology comes too late for my husband, Ruben Porras, who died Oct. 20, 2005. My husband suffered for five years while undergoing daily dialysis treatments. He had countless procedures and hospitalizations relating to kidney failure. Kaiser’s apology means nothing to me.

I was left without a husband, my two children without a father and my grandchildren without their papa. I trusted Kaiser with Ruben’s healthcare; I never once thought they would put cost before patients’ lives. I am thrilled to hear Kaiser is being investigated and that the truth is coming to light.
