Have been an on and off dialysis for 15 years

Question for all my friends on IHD:

In 2014 when Obama-Care fully kicks in, is anyone knowledgeable about what benefits (if any) dialysis patients will get?  If anything, I would like to know where I can read about the changes myself from a website.

Thanks
