I admit the $75 can be quite a chunk. Our family has lived on $1200 the past two months (family of four) without any assistance at all from the government and it's something we have to plan for monthly like a bill. I can completely empathize with that and feel folks should have access to at least these monitors without a script or a $75 monthly price tag. If you take apart a used on, the actual components cost at most $12 according to my husband which does electronics. They are making a killing on each one for sure.
