I found the opposite to be true. Kaiser is worth the premium. Doctors and care has been amazing.

Oh? “amazing” is the _opposite_ of “decent”?

Choose Kaiser if your only other option is a cheap scan VS seek out Kaiser even if it has a premium.

Seem to be opposite enough.

Maybe if we tried to see the underlying point instead, would make it easier to move the discussion forward.

Maybe worth the premium was the part opposite cheap as scam insurance?

No one who lives (has lived) in California thinks Kaiser is a scam. You may not like Kaiser or HMOs, but they are not a scam by any measure. So its an odd or simply mistaken choice of words.
