A Busy Retired Person

An Arlene Mullin-Lane comment:

"I am glad to see this finally in print (Propublica_articles). It appears that more is needing to come out. Not only care, but patient dismissals.

I have advocated for thousands of patients in being dismissed. CMS ,ESRD Networks were aware and never lifted a finger. Hopefully this will come out in Robins future articles.

Davita is number 1 in dismissals. Has been cited for one illegal dismissal..Cms did nothing. Plenty of emails to support this and documents. Voluntary information and ESRD Networks who have worked for the clinics. They vote themselves in. They need to go. Have plenty of denial letters to patients over the years. We need to have non-industry oversight.

It has to be brought to the surface once and for all."
