Yeah, that is absolutely correct. I am not blaming the individuals here, and often they do not have any other choice. The plasma companies have quite the history involving scandals see: https://web.archive.org/web/20170401035608/http://taintedblood.info/timeline.php?mode=latest&launch=true https://web.archive.org/web/20170401035608/http://taintedblo... Generally blood products derived from plasma cost about double for the exact same quantity in the US, compared to other developed countries with universal healthcare (excluding Switzerland). For example, the going rate for the blood product I take, in the developed world, is 40 Euro per gram (roughly $50/gram). My US health insurance pays out (not what is being billed by the provider--which is way, way more), under contract, $100/gram for the blood product. I take around a couple hundred to a few hundred grams per month. So, yes, even that alone is scandalous.
