Is a different situation.

The blood that you donate is not taken for making a profit by a private company. Is strongly regulated and do not depends of the income of external investors expecting a profit. At difference of a private company, nobody will buy the goverment tomorrow.

Wrong, profit is made. It can go to for profit hospitals who charge for it, or at least the service if administrating it.

I like that. Yes profit is made and I see none of that profit but I don't care because the blood still ends up in another human who needs it.
