When you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be?

I didn't think of their hospital bill, but last time I donated, the blood was used in Alabama, several states away. I hope the person getting my blood either got injured doing something very heroic or very funny.

You get notified of that?

That sounds really cool, and a total privacy nightmare

I got notified in which state, and that's all. No personal identifiers, no reason why, not even the city. Just Alabama.
