Is $50 too much

Some are expecting Risug to cost a few hundreds:

'One little shot, an outpatient procedure, $500 -- and contraception would be covered for YEARS.' - http://valkyrierisen.vox.com/library/post/risug-lives.html

There are some estimates as low as $50 for a 10 year coverage. Either way the cost is nothing compared to the cost of having a birth - strange to compare birth control to birth costs when discussing human life. This would not be worth commenting on if there were realistic options available, and as long as surgery or hormone pills are the only options then this is a topic requiring discussion.
