    My problem is with private healthcare that bills thousands for a bag of plasma that have been donated

    If you have to sell plasma, you aren’t middle class anymore. This is probably because they’ve been gutting the middle class in favor of the rich for decades.

    That headline implies that selling plasma to get by is acceptable so long as your working class or poor.

    OR

    Holy shit poverty is happening to worthy people.

    There’s a place near me paying $800 for new donaters. I’m 100% going to go.
