Yes and no. I don't think Kaiser did it it for the PR. She may have been directed to that Kaiser facility because it was the best equipped to handle her particular case. All hospitals have to take a certain number of indigent patients.
I can't really find fault with the staff who provided the care- it's not their job to judge the morality of all this, just to provide the care. They did a great job and I'm sure that other patients will benefit from the teaching/learning aspect of this case...but they are professionals and they deserve to be paid for the services they provide because heck- what a concept- they WORK to care for their own families.
