After reading the following a great first step would be to write your Federal Representatives backing up our February 29th, 2024 "Rally To Congress" and January 31st Press Conference! One good question to ask would be: "Are there any reasons left NOT to breakup the huge dialysis companies???" We aren't seeing any!
UPDATE: Another question might be "Shouldn't the nephrologists, kidney doctors, exemption to the Stark Law be taken away?" That exemption stifles innovation like 'Community Dialysis Houses' - neprologists are less likely to recommend something they don't have a financial interest in like the clinics. FREE THE NEPHROLOGISTS FROM THEIR GILDED CAGES!!!
(when last checked, Warren Buffett owned 40% of DaVita the huge kidney dialysis company through Berkshire Hathaway Inc.. DaVita was about 1% of the Berkshire portfolio. Apparently "product quality" isn't a concern)
