Excellent article about what is (hopefully) coming in the near future. The only reason I added the (hopefully) comment is the poor track record for this administration's follow-thru. There has been a lot of public and private wrangling between HHS Sec. Azar and CMS Chief Seema Verma. I really hope those two can end their bickering and sniping and push forward the agenda to make this happen. Since this is an election year that might be the impetus needed to make it happen. I certainly hope so.

Agree with Mr._ Kidney. Hopefully the executives will get this passed.

Excellent article, and simple to read.

Thanks for sharing!

Think about human goals and strategies, even sincere ones. History has shown they were often foiled by poor execution. Look to the One who will never disappoint us. What we learn can help us analyze our view of human efforts.

Thanks for sharing the article. I know here in Wyoming they have an initiative to increase organ donor sign up. In 2018 the rate was 62% and should be even higher when the 2019 results are in.

Hopefully things will improve in the years to come with diagnosing early and doctor's taking CKD seriously.
