And if the alternative (not offering any payment) is simply not having enough plasma to manufacture the life saving treatments?

It's almost as if people who are donating this frequently should be properly screened and truly compensated for the value they are providing...

Around here they don't pay for blood, they give you things like movie tickets or restaurant gift cards... sure the recipients could sell them for cash but it's not as easy.
