[Avalux]

[lib2DaBone]

3. What if you have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours..?

Should I call my doctor?

[valerief]

4. Think of Virginia Foxx. nt

[BrklynLiberal]

[vaberella]

[uponit7771]

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

45. You are a comedic god/godess

Or some comedic transgendered diety. Or something like that.

But dammit, that was amusing!

:rofl:

[slackmaster]

5. No

If that happens you need a hooker, not a doctor.

[griffi94]

9. in case i have an erection

[valerief]

11. Bravo!

[babylonsister]

15. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[dave29]

14. as Colbert would say... if you have an erection that lasts more than four hours...

you're welcome

[mikekohr]

40. We are having an election in Illinois this February 2nd, it will last from7am to 7pm

[rd_kent]

6. I would agree, but that also means no payments for fertility treatments, right?

[BrklynLiberal]

8. No abortions, no viagra.

Something about a goose and a gander...

[Joanne98]

12. YAY

[emulatorloo]

16. They aren't exactly equivalent. Maybe vasectomies would be a better analogy?

[bluetrain]

38. They are in no way equivalent. No coverage for Prostate Cancer maybe comes closer but is still a

ways off.

[ellenfl]

18. no birth control pill coverage, no viagra. eom

[emulatorloo]

19. or maybe no Vagifem coverage, no Viagra

I think those might be the most equivalent.

[ellenfl]

33. what the heck is vagifem?

is that the new drug for restless vagina syndrome? that's a horrible name.

ellen fl

[emulatorloo]

34. It is a topical estrogen for menopausal women -- keeps the vaginal tissues supple n/t

[ellenfl]

36. oh, i thought it was the new female viagra . . . which probably will not be covered either. eom

[Thothmes]

23. Not the same.

Pregnancy is a cooperative affair in most case. She has to go along with the sex act. Pregnancy is a result of sex. She has the option to say no.
ED is a valid medical condition. It is curable in some cases by medication. To equate one to the other is juvenial at best.

[valerief]

28. I guess you never heard of rape! Buh-bye forever! nt

[BrklynLiberal]

31. Yep.

:thumbsup: The IGNORE option is priceless.

[valerief]

32. +1

[Thothmes]

37. Yes I have heard of rape, abortions are paid for in case

of rape. What percentage of live births are due to rape.

[jberryhill]

42. Juvenial?

[Dulcinea]

44. Agreed.

No abortion or birth control coverage? No boner pills, either! Fair is fair!

[MaineDem]

10. Absolutely!

Makes perfect sense to me.

[David Zephyr]

13. Good. I don't want to pay for some creep's erection. That's his problem.

.

[emulatorloo]

20. Hope you never have to suffer from ED

I thought Dems were the party of empathy.

[smalll]

24. lol - "suffer" from "ED" -- you suffer from PES -- Pharma-marketing Euphemism Syndrome.

Call it what it is. Impotence.

And more seriously, if a man is 40, 50, 60 or 70 and finds he can't get it up anymore, or more likely can't get it up as often or as quickly as he used to - well, that's just the way nature is supposed to work! To everything there is a season, etc. etc. We're not supposed to be randy teenagers forever.

[Lisa0825]

26. FYI, there are many reasons why someone may have impotence issues at a younger age....

Are you saying that only men of a certain age should have access to medical help for it? That is not a great precedent to set.... lets see.... everyone's eyes get worse with age.... why should you get glasses? You'll die soon anyway!

[mopinko]

35. for a place obsessed with sex,

there is no empathy here for people with this problem. i hope they are never in a position to decide between treating their high blood pressure and ever having sex again. i suspect they will sing a different tune.

[Sky Masterson]

22. They better pay for it!

If I'm ever insured that is :(

[Lisa0825]

25. I disagree.

Impotence is a medical problem. As long as insurance will cover women's sexual health issues, I have no problem with Viagra being covered. I only have a problem with it with relation to carriers who refuse to cover birth control pills or other important women's health matters. Don't cover us? Then don't cover men.

[valerief]

29. I actually agree with you. nt

[ksoze]

41. The outdoor bath tub manufactures union will lobby for it.

[jn2375]

43. no insurance payments for vasectomy's
