Why are Americans supplying two-thirds

of the world's blood plasma?

They need the cash.

In 2019 alone, plasma companies paid

about $2.7 billion for Americans' donations.

I feel like I'm helping somebody and they're helping me out.

I'm glad that it does help people,

but I only found out about it because it pays you money,

and I only find myself doing it when I need money.

While donors make about $50 per donation,

a liter of plasma is worth over $200 on the open market.

So why is plasma so expensive?

When Liz Savage and her husband

first started donating plasma in college,

the earnings doubled their monthly income.

You know, $400 goes a long way

when you're a broke student.

Now she uses the money to help out

with expenses like buying her kids new school clothes.

She visits the center near Baltimore, Maryland,

twice a week.
