It's like Kaoser physicians are being paid on the amount of patients that didn't get serious, expensive procedures.

Do some web research on Kaiser. There's a website that watchdogs Kaiser. They say, that while much of the organization is run on a non-profit basis, there's a sort of loophole in one aspect of it, relating to how the doctors get paid, that's run on a for-profit basis. As I recall, it's something like what you concluded here; it functions as an incentive for the doctors to skimp on treatments, on the amount of supplies used per patient (if hospitalized), and that sort of thing. Any savings they can create boosts their profit.
