Trump signs executive order revamping kidney disease care, includes better access to home dialysis, transplants

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday paving the way for an overhaul of the way kidney disease, which affects 30 million Americans, is treated in the U.S.

The president's move would lead to sweeping changes in treatment as well as prevention, including improving access to dialysis treatment in the home and enabling people with failing kidneys to have opportunities sooner to get a transplant.

"This is a first, second and third step, it’s more than just a first step,” said Trump just before signing the executive order. “We’re going to come up with solutions over a period of five years and 10 years, that I think most people won’t believe.”
