These stories pop up periodically. Some government agency somewhere wants to stop covering Viagra under their medical plan. It's always some effort to pander to... I don't know who. The underlying notion is that sex isn't part of life and erectile dysfunction isn't a health issue. Since we don't live in Puritan times, no one believes this, so these policies never actually get enacted:
Outgoing Gov. Tim Kaine proposed in December to make state workers pay out of pocket for Viagra and its pharmaceutical cousins. But the legislature nixed that proposal during the subsequent months of budget wrangling.I understand politicians who think they can get political gain by railing against sex among teenagers. But I just don't get the logic in trying to limit sex among married couples, most of the people who would be affected by this proposal. Makes no sense, medically, ethically, or politically.
