So where are we supposed to get plasma from? Taxing the rich more and socializing medicine doesn't accomplish that part.

  Here goes: people can donate it without the threat of losing their lives and homes (social violence). You know what sucks? Having what, 150+ “mass casualty” incidents a year, extracting the blood of the poor, then trying to say “hey that reduces crime!” while 5 families have more wealth than 50% of America combined, and the only “advanced” country where medical debt is a leading cause of bankruptcy. There’s no sane washing any of this shit.

    > Here goes: people can donate it without the threat of losing their lives and homes (social violence). Where is the incentive for people to donate plasma other than paying people for it? If people were donating it for free in adequate quantities there wouldn’t be companies paying people for it. I’m not even arguing against socialized medicine, just pointing out that you haven’t provided a better solution to the demand for plasma.
