What's The Big Deal?
The MSM is all atwitter because Medicare is going to cover Viagra (and all the other E.D. medications) on a case-by-case basis. Not everyone is happy about this.
Here's the scoop, Sparky. These drugs have helped a lot of men (and their wives). They have given back some of their self-esteem, their vim, their vigor. And, while I will concede that they might not be medically "necessary", they definitely make life more worth living for some men.
I look at it this way- you have a choice. You can pay for the little blue pill, or you can pay for the trips to the shrink and the anti-depressants when these guys feel "less than virile." Your call.
Rep. Gil Gutknecht, R-Minn., who opposes the Medicare Modernization Act, in a statement he said, "If we are going to be paying for Viagra now, sooner or later we will be paying for other recreational drugs."Recreational drugs? Geez. This guy is an idiot (who obviously does not suffer from E.D.) How can these drugs be considered "recreational"?
