Paying For Someone Else's Hard-On

Do you think programs like Medicare should cover erectile dysfunction drugs?

I'm not sure I really have much of an opinion on this. I know the drug companies are making a ton on this, but then again - they're making a ton on everything. I just wish they could keep the thousands of ads down to a minimum.

People worry abut their young children asking what 'erectile dysfunction' means, but have they considered what it's like for a guy in his 20s to be watching the news with his grandparents when the commercial comes on and says, "erections lasting more than four hours, though rare, require immediate medical attention..."?

Read the article and see what you think.

One out of every 3 people are on some kind of medication. It won't be long until before it's at 100%. Then we'll be hostages to the drug companies AND the coffee companies. Nothing like having two masters.
