§1217.2. Finding; statement of purpose
A. The legislature finds that one of the most serious and tragic problems facing the public health and welfare today is the death of hundreds of people in this state each year from chronic kidney disease when the present state of medical art and technology could return many of these people to a socially productive life. Many of these people may die due to lack of personal financial resources to pay for the expensive equipment and care necessary for survival.
B. The legislature recognizes a responsibility to allow its citizens to remain healthy without being pauperized and a responsibility to use the resources and organizations of the state to gather and disseminate information on the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease.
C. The legislature further finds that a comprehensive program to combat chronic kidney disease must be implemented through the combined and correlated efforts of individuals, state and local governments, persons in the field of medicine, universities, and nonprofit organizations. Therefore, it is the purpose of this Part to provide a comprehensive and coordinated approach to direct the use of resources and care and treatment of chronic kidney disease.
