Simply, someone always has to pay for it.Indeed it does, and I agree nothing is free. But then, taxpayers pay the money to the state, and the state provides for the health care, police, fire department, etc...
depends on the country of course

I'm O negative, so my blood is acceptable by all peoples. Clean blood with that type means I get called every three months to donate. Every time they call I donate. Every time I request that it goes to our (american) troops.

unfortunately I am not allowed to give Blood... which sucks because sometimes it is so very needed.
When we would have blood drives at the Naval Hospital there is generally a line of Marines from the base to give blood.. not being able to go really sucks.

People all too often forget that hospitals are businesses too.

Good excuse to get out of work for three hours ^.^

More blood donors here?
Yeah, its nice and all, but unfortunately they don't let people have that blood for free.

Real men give half a liter :cool:
Srsly, here in Croatia usual amount is 450ml, and yea, donations are every 3 months.
I always give it for free, dunno is there even a way to do it for money, I wouldn't go there anyway.
I am Zero pozitive blood type, gave 11 times so far.

I can give ~473 mL every two weeks. (one pint)
Blood donor - Tommeh - 03-25-2011
Dunno did you mean there is place where blood can be donated every two weeks, or that you personally do it every 2 weeks,
cause it wouldn't be possible, body can't compensate half a liter of blood in just 2 weeks.
That's why there is 3 months limit.
