Well guess what, they don't really need your blood, they need the money they sell your blood for.....
How much does the Red Cross sell a pint of blood for? The typical pint of red blood cell product now costs $130 to $150. Fredrick does not expect the price increase to affect hospitals' ability to provide blood to patients this summer, but she said, "there are still critical blood shortages in this country."
I used to have to conduct my company's annual blood drive back in the 1980's but I stopped giving once I learned of their scam..........
Guys, it’s not just the Red Cross.
That the SA and Cleveland Clinic have done this as well is appalling.
