Am I missing something
Plasma donors are paid.
Huh, TIL. I've donated at blood drives in the past and got a cookie but that was it. Must be different.
The US approach to donation is odd, to say the least. You can't be paid for blood, or organs. Blood products, like plasma, aren't actually regulated and you can be compensated for them. The companies that collect those blood and organs you can't profit from? They can make money from those transactions.
