2. Amazing.....

John Oliver and his staff of writers always seem to hit the nail exactly on the head. Yet another great piece by Last Week Tonight! Kidney disease is no laughing matter, but using biting humor to point out the flaws in the dialysis "industry" could save lives.

3. That was a fantastic program and a great public service.

Making people aware of the need for kidney donors is so important. Exposing the monsters who would profit from peoples' misery and poor health deserves an award.

I hope this show reaches a wide audience.

BTW, Thank you President Nixon! I never knew that thanks to him, the federal govt. pays for life-sustaining dialysis treatments.

5. John Oliver is great.

His genius rivals Jon Stewart, and that is saying something.

6. Would a Medicare for All healthcare system, with an emphasis on preventive care help to address.....

.......the rise in people needing dialysis. Please note John's comment that high blood pressure is one of the factors contributing to this rise.
