Because of that, we now have an unrelated comment brought into many discussions about comments made by lawmakers whose legislation is (arguably) sexist, racist or detrimental to some group or another.



Federal funding is, in part, used to provide Viagra to some. During recent HCR plans, some Republicans wanted to axe that, but there was no mention of Medicare changes. There's also the $85 million the military spends annually on ED drugs, while non-formulary birth control drugs can cost service members or their spouses out of pocket. Some aren't covered at all.

If private insurance doesn't cover someone's ED drugs, chances are they could get it for less or nothing by having Medicare, becoming a lawmaker or joining the military. The same can't be said for someone needing a specific birth control.

I wasn't aware that when Obamacare was being argued, all the people who were yelling about ED drugs were merely talking about people in the military and on Medicare.(83% of whom are over 60.)
