Warren Buffett has been buying DVA as though it were a cold Coke on a hot day. Fourth quarter 2012 purchases were at least 3.4 million shares, giving him over 14% of shares outstanding and a 33% increase in his position.

Expansion into revolutionizing primary care is a cherry on top of a solid business. Good enough for Buffet, good enough for me!

Buffett's Berkshire just increased their stakes in Davita which provides dialysis services (also meets Peter Lynch's "yuckiness" factor) for failed kidneys. It is at an all-time high which seems like an unusual value purchase.

This company's product is absolutely unrelated to any other aspect of the economy. All dialysis patients need and will receive dialysis, regardless of economics. The government pays the bills and will continue to do so. Costs are completely predictable and the company has managed them skillfully over the past eight years.

The company can predict revenue, cost, and earnings, with almost 100% accuracy, well into the future.

This is a no-brainer.

In America obesity and diabetes are growing which leads to kisney failure. More and more Americans are ending up on dialysis machines and Davita is the leading company in America. It is the Mcdonalds of dialysis. There is one on every corner, you just don't see them.
