    I am a blood donor and a future organ donor. More than anything I am frustrated that someone should have to even be billed for $7,300 for something I gave to them for free. Our health system is rigged against the people it claims to benefit.

      It is frustrating and needs to be better regulated, but thank you for being a donor.

      As someone with chronic anemia, it’s very disheartening to see all of these people say that they will not donate because their donation gets sold. They would rather people like me just die than have capitalism get involved with their donation?

      I’d rather pay than not get the blood, thank you very much. The solution is legislation, not to simply stop donating.
