As mentioned in the article, there are very big differences between treatment for kidney failure between the US and other first world countries. For example, blood filters are commonly reused in the US, to save a few bucks. Doctors are not always present during treatment and available for emergencies, etc.
You're right of course that this is just part of the bigger problems with the US health care system as it currently exists.
I have some knowledge in this area because I'm currently working on the software for a dialysis machine, and in this context have talked quite a bit with people working in the industry who know and can compare the situations in different countries.
