Episode 87: Death and Dollars in Dialysis with Tom Mueller

New York Times bestselling author Tom Mueller joins us to discuss his latest book, How to Make a Killing, which investigates the murky world of the American dialysis industry. We explore the consolidation of just two dominant dialysis providers, and the limited options kidney patients have to advocate for better care. Mueller uncovers how flawed incentives and reimbursement policies in American healthcare enable these dialysis giants to prosper, while patients suffer. He shares some hopeful trends and solutions that could improve outcomes for people with kidney disease.
