I spent about 1 year selling plasma; I already had a full time job, and other gig work on the side. It fucking sucked. You’d wait an hour to have a nurse take your vitals to determine if you were healthy enough to donate. Then you’d wait an hour just to get hooked up to a machine. For me, once I was hooked up, it took 50 minutes to fill the bottle.

Those bottles of Plasma retailed for over $1000. I got paid $60 a bottle. I could donate twice a week. Every moment of it sucked and it left scars in my arms.

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. They’ve been scapegoating the “lower class” to distract from who is actually responsible for this gross inequity. The reality is: If you have to work every day to stay alive, you are working class too.

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

the lower class:

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.

Damn, I wish I were in good enough health to donate plasma.

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