RE: $300/pint...

A while back someone put the price of blood at $300 dollars/pint and derived a yearly figure from that...

From the AABB site:
23M units/year , national average $65-$75/unit .... $100 max...

(1 unit approx 1 pint...)

Thats still $1.5B to 1.7B yearly... according to a nonprofit group..
Still pretty good for a start up, but wasn't someone spouting $20B...

Just wondering where they got their numbers....
