Well, that’s not good. The only “way out” for dialysis patients is a transplant or death. The article says only ~1/8 of patients at for-profit facilities are on the transplant list and very few receive a transplant. I’ve heard bad things about DaVita from nurses that worked there before. I’m glad both my dialysis clinics were non-profit and seem to have better service. They are pretty expensive for patients with commercial insurance.
