And business is booming: Plasma, which is used to make life-saving drugs for people with cancer, chronic diseases or immune deficiencies, is a <span><u>multibillion-dollar business<\/u><\/span> and a major U.S. <span><u>export<\/u><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Across the country\u2019s <span><u>1,214 active<\/u><\/span> plasma collection centers, it\u2019s <span><u>estimated<\/u><\/span> that more than 200,000 people donate their plasma each day, a figure that\u2019s <span><u>increased<\/u><\/span> in recent years. These centers have long been strip-mall fixtures in impoverished neighborhoods, but they are <span><u>increasingly popping up<\/u><\/span> in middle-class suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>Affordability debates are dominating U.S. politics, yet when it comes to the plasma industry \u2014 where some struggling Americans turn for emergency cash\u2014 Congress is shirking responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been sort of puzzled by why nobody in Congress seems to talk about it. It never seems to come up in any sort of political context,\u201d said Emily Gallagher, an economist who\u2019s researched the connection between plasma centers and poverty in America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe asked people why they\u2019re donating, and 64% said the primary reason was to pay for essential goods and emergencies. So basically, they\u2019re late on their rent, their electricity has been turned off,\u201d Gallagher said of <span><u>one study<\/u><\/span> she conducted. \u201cWe didn\u2019t see a lot of evidence that people were doing it purely for altruistic reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The industry and its paid partners tend to frame the transaction as an opportunity to earn extra money for fun expenses \u2014 like <span><u>gifts<\/u><\/span> for family members \u2014 rather than as a way to pay for necessities like bills and groceries. That obfuscates harsh realities in America: Some low-income people have come to rely on plasma centers to make ends meet, and the industry has an inverse relationship with the health of the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans are selling their plasma to pay the bills at the same time Trump is trying to spend their tax dollars on his new ballroom,\u201d said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) in a statement to NOTUS.She said her party is working to ensure<b> \u201c<\/b>no family is forced to sell their plasma to make ends meet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congressional attention, though, is limited to rhetoric: The legislative body has not introduced any bills that specifically address donation frequencies or offer new donor protections.<\/p>\n<p>In the U.S., people can give <span><u>104 times<\/u><\/span> a year, or twice a week, a limit that has existed since at least <span><u>2000<\/u><\/span>. <span><u>Elsewhere<\/u><\/span>, the standard is typically around twice a month, and even the more permissive paid donation systems allow it only about once a week.<\/p>\n<p>There is a <span><u>stunning lack<\/u><\/span> of research around the safety of long-term, frequent donations, and recent research suggests that giving plasma as frequently as the U.S. allows <span><u>could deplete donors\u2019 blood proteins<\/u><\/span> faster than they can regenerate.<\/p>\n<p>CSL Plasma, a subsidiary of an Australian company that operates more than <span><u>300 U.S. plasma centers,<\/u><\/span> warns about protein depletion on its <span><u>website<\/u><\/span>. \u201cThis can lower the ability to fight off infections, so check in with your healthcare provider to monitor your immunoglobulin levels if you donate plasma often,\u201d the site says.<\/p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration <span><u>requires<\/u><\/span> plasma collection centers to report adverse events and fatalities, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFDA continues to review the safety of plasmapheresis procedures,\u201d the spokesperson said in a statement to NOTUS. \u201cFDA also keeps abreast of scientific literature on the safety of plasma donations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The high cap for plasma donations was met with surprise on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre people giving plasma over a 104 times a year?!\u201d said an email from one shocked aide for Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, home to the chamber\u2019s main health subcommittee. No other health committee responded to questions about what work they\u2019ve done to oversee the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Greg Murphy (R-North Carolina), a physician, said he\u2019d want to review research on how many people give plasma that often.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=540\">Florida Fliers Rage Against Trump International Airport<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood boy, that\u2019s a lot. That\u2019s like, every three days. Who are the people that are doing it? Are they high-risk individuals?\u201d Murphy said. \u201cThe bottom line is, you would always want to make sure it does not pose a safety risk to the donor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association, an advocacy group representing plasma-collection companies and plasma-derived drug manufacturers, emphasized that plasma is used to make drugs that save many patients\u2019 lives, and that the collection process in the U.S. is \u201csafe, long-standing and strictly regulated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany patients around the world are able to access their therapies due to higher donation frequency in the U.S., which currently supplies approximately 48% of plasma to the rest of the world,\u201d the PPTA spokesperson said in a statement. \u201cIf more countries were to update plasma donation policies and modernize regulations based on current scientific knowledge, there would be less reliance on the U.S. to meet growing global clinical need for plasma.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the World Health Organization <span><u>has urged<\/u><\/span> its member countries as recently as this month to develop incentives to build self-sufficient, voluntary plasma supplies.<\/p>\n<p>Congress regularly involves itself in trivial regulatory matters, from <span><u>showerhead water pressure<\/u><\/span> to the availability of <span><u>whole milk<\/u><\/span> in public schools. Still, several members told NOTUS they knew little about the commercial plasma industry.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about it, Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Georgia), a physician, immediately offered a free-market argument.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t want to give blood or plasma, guess what? Nobody put a gun to your head. If you want to donate, make some extra dollars, yeah, good for me, good for you. That\u2019s capitalism at its best,\u201d McCormick said. \u201cUntil I see people dying of it, or seeing people harmed by it, which I haven\u2019t yet seen \u2026 until I see the detriment, why would I make more regulations?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said Congress hasn\u2019t gotten involved because the industry works fine: \u201cIf it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-Oregon), who\u2019s also a physician, said any new rules or regulations should be left up to federal health agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is an unfortunate reality that some people have to use that as a mechanism for survival right now, literally, to pay the bills,\u201d Dexter said. \u201cI think that we should not be in the business of telling medicine what they should or shouldn\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re too slow and clunky here, and we\u2019re not scientists or doctors for the most part,\u201d Dexter continued. \u201cI, of course, am, but I recognize that means nothing in a legislative branch role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Art Caplan, a bioethicist at New York University Grossman School of Medicine who formerly served as chair of the Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability at HHS, said it\u2019s been decades since Congress gave the industry serious thought<b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t even remember the last time there was a hearing on this whole subject,\u201d Caplan said. \u201cMany people in Congress believe that a market is the best way to distribute any resource, and that there is nothing wrong with a market that depends upon poor people to provide the supply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean the industry isn\u2019t present in Washington. The PPTA, which counts several commercial plasma companies among its <span><u>members<\/u><\/span>, <span><u>reported<\/u><\/span> spending $160,000 on lobbying during this year\u2019s first quarter, in part to talk to congressional offices about \u201cplasma protein therapies and the rare disease patients that use them, and the need for continued Source plasma donations,\u201d according to its disclosure documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the fact that people can participate as they wish and actually get paid for it, but maybe the question that is underneath what that industry does is, are there ethics and morals? And are we taking advantage of vulnerable people?\u201d Rep. Mike Kennedy (R-Utah), a physician, told NOTUS. \u201cThat\u2019s a whole set of questions, considering the massive nature of the industry that probably needs to be considered, evaluated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Congress is busy.<\/p>\n<p>As Kennedy put it: \u201cConsidering all the things I got to think about, it\u2019s not on the top of my list for consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=538\">Reflecting Pool Party<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The plasma industry has boomed with little attention from regulators in Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":543,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
