"And while drugs that enable a healthy sex life may make seniors happy, it’s difficult to argue that they’re medically necessary."

Amen to that. If I cannot have a happy sex life neither can seniors! :) J/k

I think the impotence drugs should be given over the counter to any male who can prove he is over a particular age, say 30.

Unintended consequences ---

1. Drugs to treat STDs will be prescribed more often.
2. More pregnancies will occur
3. More abortions will occur.

Yeah...isn't it great that part of our tax dollars pay for some old fogie to have a hard-on? (through a RECREATIONAL drug no less?) Makes you proud to be an American.

It be pretty nice if I had a little more recreation in my life too...OOoops...that would mean I'd have to work less or stop WORKING all together.

*rolls eyes*

Whatever. (shaking head)

I would think, if you were to talk to Teresa Heinz Kerry she would say it's enough already that she pays for John's Cialis.

She'd say "Let the American taxpayers pay for all the other men's Cialis prescriptions."

My medical plan will only furnish one(1) 10 mg. dosage of Cialis per week. I have to con samples from my GP to fill in the other 6 days of the week. They give you a slight headache but it's not even close to the pain you get when you walk into the wall.... git my drift.......

it’s difficult to argue that they’re medically necessary

Why is it so easy to dismiss someone else's sex life as not "medically necessary"?

I wonder what would the attitude would be if the author's sex life depended on Viagra?

For most of history amputees got along fine without prosthetic arms & legs, or with very primitive ones. Should Medicare only cover a single hook for a hand prosthesis?
