The NY Times has an article about inclusion of drugs like Viagra and Cialis in the Medicare drug boondoggle, I mean benefit.

The exclusion of these drugs from Medicare will probably have bipartisan support (in spite of big pharma's carte blanche in Congress).
Representative James P. Moran, Democrat of Virginia, a co-sponsor, said: "Here we are using money that could go to cancer, heart disease and other life-threatening illnesses and diverting it into the sex performance of men over 65. It's a scandal."
The most frightening aspect is that the VA already covers ED pills.
Veterans received 1.9 million prescriptions for Viagra through the V.A. health care system last year.
It disgusts me that we are wasting money on erections while 40 million people are without health insurance. Anyone want to speak in favor of money for wood?
