The organic brown rice at whole foods is similarly priced (although might be for 3lbs not 5). Not the basmati brown rice but the regular one. The organic basmati brown rice is more expensive.

Yes, brown rice does contain arsenic. As does white rice but brown rice has more because the arsenic tends to accumulate in the outer layer and white rice gets rid of most of that layer due to polishing. (And with that also goes away the nutrients as has been rightly mentioned in this thread)
The amount of arsenic in brown rice is not significant enough that it could cause health issues if you eat it occasionally. If you are a native rice eater, then eating brown rice every day could "probably" cause issues in the long run. As they say too much of anything can be bad.
Based on some research I had done on this subject a few years back, I recollect that among brown rice 1) Organic 2)California grown 3)Long grain basmati rice had the least amount of arsenic. You can get that in some stores like Whole Foods and Sprouts farmers market. Yes! They are unfortunately more expensive, but if you have the means, definitely choose that type of brown rice for better health. As a bonus, that rice tastes excellent too!
Personally, i try to make sure stuff I eat is organic when possible. And it's not because I'm rich, far from it. I just think nothing is more important than your health.

Chewing you up wasn't so nice.
No intent to be so mean
At least you gave me some protein.
