Have They,At Last,No Shame ??

Have They, At Last, No Shame ??

It has just come to my attention – via the Associated Press – the Evil Idealogues in the US House of Representatives have voted to fund hurricane relief by making cuts in Medicaid funding !

The House resolution calls for de-funding Medicaid-subsidized purchase of vitally needed erectile disfunction drugs (EDD)– such as Viagra and Cialis !!

It was bad enough when they voted to cut off EDD funding for sex offenders , but this is just over the top. Have they, at last, no shame ??

Don’t they realize, without EDD funding there will be lower birth rates among disfunctional and lower income families ? That Public Assistance applications may decrease , instead of increasing at comfortably predictable levels ??

Hasn’t it crossed their puny minds there may well be a serious ripple effect ?

Fewer recipients could have an adverse effect on the careers of thousands of dedicated Assistance workers : fewer job openings;fewer opportunities for supervisors ; fewer chances for the up-and-coming Administrator to attend catered meetings and conferences with peers; fewer opportunities to nod wisely and say : “Yes. This is important. This is very important !”

Please contact your elected representatives today , and let them know how much is riding on the setting aside of this ill-considered decision : campaign contributions , welcoming speeches , and votes (assuming any of you actually vote ! )

My private insurance plan doesn't cover these "life style" drugs why should Medicaid or Medicare?

Exactly, Medicaid/Medicare should not, in any given community, be suppling a more extensive program than the average taxpayer can obtain.
