Medicare Benefit Will Cover Viagara
Sexual performance drugs like Viagra will be covered by Medicare's new prescription benefit beginning next year, along with medications for other conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease, Health and Human Services officials said Tuesday.

Does anyone know if regular health insurance covers this??

 

[vraiblonde]

That is bullshit. Now we have to pay for some guy to get a woody?

 

[Toxick]

Aw c'mon.

Sexual activity is good for you. 'Sides some of these old dudes will probably keep themselves in better physical shape if they thought they could get some.


Which, in the long run, will save money.


Three cheers, sez I.

It really aggravates me to see something like this especially when you still have insurance companies who won't cover birth control for women and fertility drugs...

Well if "it" won't work, not much chance you'll need these things.

True but it is still a double standard. And I know Medicare shouldn't cover bc or fertility drugs because of what Medicare is but I still see it as an insurance company double standard.

Good, then YOU pay for it.

Viagra isn’t something that anyone needs to live, it’s a recreational drug…….it shouldn’t be paid for by insurance companies.

Our insurance prices are bad enough as it is.

I'm utterly disgusted.

 

[Airwolf]

I'm udderly disgusted.

I hear you have such nice udders that your man won't EVER need "the little blue pill".

 

[mAlice]

it’s a recreational drug

 

[Chasey_Lane]

And I think I read somewhere that Catholics are for it, too. However, they're against birth control?

"quality of life" drugs should NOT be covered by insurance companies. Not BC, not fertility, not viagra, not migraine meds, not allergy meds, NONE of that type of stuff. Antibiotics? Yes. Pain killers (when recovering from surgery)? Yes. Life saving drugs? Yes.

Because it promotes childbirth..........you can't shoot pool with a rope. :shrug:

I thought religious conservatives would be screaming from the rooftops at the thought of government money subsidizing nookie.
