As I remember it, the centers would pay $20 for blood and then sell it to the nation's blood supply for upwards of $45 and $50. The profit potential was so huge that they were failing to screen donors and thus threatening the nation's blood supply. The American Red Cross issued a policy saying that they would not accept blood from for-profit suppliers, causing the industry to vanish almost overnight.
