I believe all dialysis expenses are guaranteed by the federal government.

In other words, with insurance, or without, no dialysis costs are passed onto the patient.

The reason?

Without dialysis, death is certain.

I believe many things are covered this way, like AIDS medication, child birth, infant and child care, even for people illegally in the country.

Well, fine. And for people who have been abusing their bodies for decades - unchecked diabetes, drug abuse, out if control blood pressure, they are guaranteed this treatment, but it’s hospital stays, methadone, md and nursing care, meds out the ying yang

And what would people do without this invention, dialysis? What did they used to do?

Why do they get the same treatment whether they pay into insurance or no?

Why are illegal immigrants getting treated a magnitude better than our war veterans, across the board?

Why are our children getting put jnto a deeper than $17 trillion debt for this care of people who do not pay their way nor do step one to take care of themselves?

And how long do you think the money and resources will hold out?

It’s not Monopoly money.

I think Z is partially right.

Q: Is dialysis expensive?

A: Yes. Dialysis costs a lot of money. However, the federal government pays 80 percent of all dialysis costs for most patients. Private health insurance or state Medicaid programs also help with the costs.
