It looks like a pint of blood during surgery costs about $200 to $300. Of course, if it cost a nickel, the whole collection, testing, and distribution system would break down and we would have much less blood during surgeries. That would be really bad.
Prices are pretty good at directing efforts towards the production of things people value.
And if "they" told you just before your, hopefully, life saving surgery that the pint of blood you required would now cost you $10K just because, well, because you will die without it and they happen to have an extra pint for you?
I guess there would be fewer surgeries. It's called acting unconscionably and it's one of the traits that identify psychotics from people who care about their fellow beings.

Wait, aren't you from NPR?
I didn't think that this sort of thinking was allowed there?
