The room you sit in, the phlebotomist, the pathogen screening, and product transport to it’s end use all cost money. I can see how me giving blood free isn’t free to the recipient.
That said I can give at my health system employer and get the afternoon off.
People should be paid for donating blood.
I would donate more if it didn’t waste my afternoon to just make money for a corporation.
Ok, hope you never need a transfusion in an emergency.
I’ve donated blood 4 times in my life which is way more than most people
I hope slapping send on that comment gave you a nice hit of dopamine.

Not to try to sound rude, but from the perspective of someone who would like to donate blood more often, i don’t care what costs they have.
It’s not my responsibility to make sure hospitals have blood, it’s the government.
There are ways our country can pay for these things and for my time and bodily fluids.
Wanting to be compensated for your time and selling part of your body is a reasonable thing to expect when time is money.
You’re defending yourself with great energy when no one is attacking you. Touch grass, take a moment.

I am giving an honest critique of US blood banks. Hospitals in other countries don’t have to depend on the random generosity of strangers to function.
Since what I said provoked you enough that you HAD to leave another comment. Maybe you need to Touch grass
Guess what room I sit in that costs me money.
My basement!
This is the way. Afternoon off is $$$ to me.
