Honored to be in a roundtable discussion with @HHSGov @HHS_ASPE @CMSGov on the 2026 Kidney Care National Plan

Kidney disease is the epitome of stagnant, monopolized health care from overregulation and inadequate attention to upstream, chronic disease prevention.

Americans deserve better. Thank you @SecKennedy for making this a priority!

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised this is a cardiology journal

I was incredibly encouraged at @ASNKidney #KidneyWk with the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the kidney community on @HHSGov Kidney Care National Plan (Link here: aspe.hhs.gov/reports/kidney…)

The consensus reaction I received from this plan is that kidney care is stagnant and needs to be revitalized throughout the entire spectrum of kidney disease, from promoting screening efforts and preventive strategies, fostering more competition in the dialysis market, and continuing the critical reform efforts for transplantation. Everyone also agreed that streamlining regulations would boost innovation by industry and that we should be promoting patient health over financial and regulatory engineering.

I had a blast at Thursday's fireside chat between @samirparikhmd , @AbeSutton , moderated by @KidneySW . I am so grateful to @TodIbrahim , Rachel Meyer, and Dr. Watnick for making this incredibly well attended session happen, despite very little notice! I was also honored to have a role in introducing this important policy. Also many thanks to Tom Duvall for his key role in developing the policy and also for playing a key role in many q/a sessions at the conference.

I am optimistic that the kidney community will be able to come together and work with the government on making this vision a reality. Grateful as always for the continued support from @GeBaiDC , @HHS_ASPE , and @CMSGov . Also thanks to Miriam Applbaum for her leadership in ensuring that this policy could be finalized and announced before Kidney Week!

Proud to be part of @USCSchaeffer and @KeckMedicineUSC , which supported me and the research that made a lot of this possible

Honored to be included in this @HHSGov roundtable on the Kidney Care National Plan with @SecKennedy

I’m highly encouraged that this plan prioritizes American Health and revitalizing kidney care markets!
