The US Department of Health and Human Services has released a landmark national plan to transform kidney care in America. The plan is a major overhaul of the existing system, which has been criticized for prioritizing profit over patient care. According to HHS, the plan aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs associated with kidney care.

It is unclear what specific reforms the plan will implement, but sources suggest that it will target the dialysis market, where companies such as DaVita and Fresenius dominate. The plan's release has been met with skepticism from some quarters, with critics arguing that it does not go far enough to address the root causes of the problem. The plan's details are still emerging, and it is unclear what specific measures will be implemented.

Some reports suggest that the plan will focus on increasing access to kidney transplants, while others suggest that it will prioritize preventative care. Further investigation is needed to determine the full scope of the plan's reforms.
