Why isn't it bought or sold to hospitals? Is it because it comes from the working class? And the working class merely exist to be sucked dry and profiteered off by all others? Tax bailouts for big companies and banks and now blood?
If there's a shortage it's because they're expecting people to donate while they make money. If you offered people say $80 people would be lining up. I totally agree with the concept that blood should be donated, but the health sector isn't exactly non-profit and there are those making a killing in it. We live in a s**t country and where people pay 20k for a procedure or medical emergency, the blood used in the procedure is free. Surely they can afford to pay you $80 for your own blood? Solving the whole "blood shortage crisis" in the process.
