Why are taxpayers paying for Viagra? Where is the Catholic hierarchy's outrage about this? [View all]
VA doctors can prescribe up to 12 pills in a 90 day period for erectile dysfunction. Doctors can (and some do) deny patients Viagra if they are not married, but this rarely happens. Why aren't Catholics and religious organizations outraged? Why aren't women, and young children outraged?
First, suffers of E.D. disorders are often older or they may be drug addicts. In either case, these men won't be in any condition to provide for any offspring that can result from the ONLY reason for sex -- procreation. Aged men will be incapacitated by dementia or death, and the men abusing drugs are generally not the ideal parents.
It's absolutely mind-boggling that a Congressional hearing hasn't been called to discuss the waste of tax money on providing Viagra. It's as if we have a lop-sided, male bias in our legislature, religious leaders, and FREE press. This is of GREAT national concern.
As for the Libertarians that tell women that they can have their contraception, as long as the women pay for it. These men of liberty have piped up in the anti-contraception debate as well. I trust that these Libertarian men (why are they always white 30-40'ish white guys?) will be just as outspoken about taxpayer funded Viagra.
