I'm not sure its a good thing. The HMBANA has done a great job of making
volunteer-provided milk available to those in need. (Not that we don't need
hundreds more HMBANA milk banks) Its not a huge money-maker, though, and
Prolacta is marketing itself as the people who can dispense milk that can be
easily billed to insurance companies. I do have a big issue with volunteer
moms donating milk that is then used to make a profit for a company. 
Tickles my ethics the wrong way. As does the sale of milk by moms to such a
company.
