Congress cuts Viagra aid
WASHINGTON — The Senate on Wednesday passed without debate and sent to the president legislation that ends Medicare and Medicaid payments for erectile dysfunction drugs, such as Viagra, as part of a package that extends medical help for the poor and provides unemployment benefit aid to states hit by Katrina.
this was a news brief i saw on usa today's website this morning. i didn't even need to read the entire article. what really gets me about the whole thing is that medicare and medicaid were providing coverage for men with erectile dysfunction in the first place. i can see why such a condition would be important to the government as the majority of our governing body is over the age of 65, and the rest of them are too busy pumping fear into the hearts of americans everywhere to have any sort of sex drive whatsoever. what gets under my skin is the fact that i had no idea until now that my taxes have been going right into the loins of the elderly poor to enhance their sex drive.
now, i love sex just as much, if not more than everyone else; and i have no problem if granny wants pops to throw her a bone once in a while. but is it really that resonable to the suits on the hill that making sure gramps can blow his load that medicare would cover the service and prescription, but won't cover certain patients needing to go to the hospital for possibly serious problems. don't get me wrong, if i couldn't get it up i would surely consider it a serious, nay, life threatening condition, but to expect the rest of the taxpayers to provide me with sufficient girth for my and jen's enjoyment? preposterous.
i think medicare and medicaid need to get their priorities in order, and get real help to those who need it. ie: the working poor. which is why i am pleased that along with various "building funds" i mentioned in a prior post, the extra spending will be going to those who need more than an eight hour hard-on...
what they need to do is provide 24-HOUR fluffer service to out of work strippers and porn stars...that would deplete the deficit.
