Abstract: Fifty years ago, in July 1973, providing care to patients with end stage kidney disease changed dramatically with the implementation of legislation (PL 92-603) that deemed chronic renal disease to be a disability and provided coverage under Medicare for the treatment of the disease. In this article, we discuss the impact of the implementation of PL 92-603.<br /> (Copyright© by the American Nephrology Nurses Association.)
