The NPR article on home dialysis should be placed in the context of a desire to offer patients treatment modality choices that suit their individual goals and needs while maximizing positive outcomes.

Appropriate reimbursement for each option will give patients choices that are not only sustainable, but reliably available.” – Dr. Franklin Maddux, Chief Medical Officer, Fresenius Medical Care North America
