  1. A talented young man I know, a born local, requires regular dialysis. I am not suggesting public funding him, but rather making available a public, or very low cost treatment machine. I don't know a lot about the technology, but the new, portable machines could travel, with a public nurse, to the small colonias around Lakeside where kidney problems abound. Is there such a system in place? I know this is part of AMLO's "dream", long term at this stage. The new San Antonio private hospital has a machine, and they charge 1,500 pesos per session. Private clinics in Guadalajara typically charge 800 to 900 pesos. So an at least 3 hr bus ride, then 3 to 5 hour session. This would be the same at public hospitals in Guadalajara but the treatment would be free. There does anybody know of an alternative for dialysis Lakeside, especially for the people who can least afford it (often drinking from contaminated well water). I never knew that with dialysis and treatment of kidney disease (diet, medication, etc.) that kidneys can often recover. I also read, that a full year of dialysis is $75,000 in the U.S. Also, this development https://www.georgeinstitute.org/media-releases/worlds-first-low-cost-dialysis-unveiled
