So, maybe men who get a viagra prescription should be forced to get a prostate exam...

[JCMach1]

It would be for their health after all...

Srsly...!

1. New checklist item...

find a new PC physician with smaller fingers.

[retread]

2. You mean they are voluntary now?

3. Plus, congress needs to pass a law that absolutely NO prostate exams or ED drugs will be

covered by insurance.

4. I hope so. It costs me a lot more money to have that done downtown

5. not really analogous

as a prostate exam serves a useful function. The invasive transvaginal ultrasound mandated in Virginia Occupy Vagina Bill serves no medical purpose and the woman isn't even required to view the results. It's only about humiliating women by shoving a foreign object up their hoo-hoos. A better analogy would be to require men to be anally violated with a broom handle or something.

7. Anal pears for lil' blue pills then?

There'd be a lot fewer old Republicans having late-life babies (I'm wagering that sometime between now and 2016 Callista Gingrich bears Newt a publicity-munchkin) if they had to endure a butt-plugging to get their ED pills.

10. since they're dragging us back to the middle ages...

6. AND, boner pills and penile pumps should NOT be covered by insurance. n/t

[Chan790]

9. I actually agree.

But I'd ban coverage of fertility drugs at the same time.

Neither the ability to get it up or the ability to have a baby are medically-necessary. BC on the other hand, often is.

No mandated medical-coverage for the elective and non-necessary except to remedy the traumatic wrong. (ie. things like cleft-palate repair and reconstructive plastic surgeries are covered.)

11. but male enhancement is different

Boner pills are considered pro-creative so the church approves and endorses their use, i.e they're covered under their insurance. Hell, I could see them adding it to the sacrament.

"The proposal being considered in the Senate applies to all employers -- not just religious employers. And it isn't limited to contraception. Any employer could restrict access to any service they say they object to. That is dangerous and it is wrong. Decisions about medical care should be made by a woman and her doctor, not a woman and her boss.” (Jay Carney)

I say this to the 'pukes who want to make this a campaign issue:

Bring it on.

8. No 'maybe' about it!
