The Congressional Kidney Caucus has been around since 2002 - over two decades of "awareness" while chronic kidney disease still costs taxpayers $130B annually through Medicare's ESRD program. XX lawmakers just pushed for new federal screening mandates, but more bureaucracy isn't the cure. Real solutions require dismantling the red tape that blocks dialysis innovation and organ transplant tech.

Instead of expanding screening protocols that funnel patients into broken systems, let's unleash market forces to develop artificial kidneys and portable dialysis. Every dollar spent on caucus meetings should instead fund prizes for private sector breakthroughs that make dialysis obsolete.

Government committees diagnose problems - entrepreneurs fix them.
