House Rejects Coverage of Impotence Pills

From the NYT article:

"It's a terrible precedent, to knock out a whole class of drugs from a formulary," Representative Nancy L. Johnson, Republican of Connecticut, said. "Is the next round going to be hormones for women?"

Huh. What comparable-to-Viagra, sex-drive enhancing hormones is she talking about? Cuz I could use some, especially during Fuck Week.

But [chief sponsor] Mr. King said a better comparison would be fertility treatments, which Medicaid does not cover. "I argue that sex has only two reasons, one of them is for procreation, and we don't subsidize procreation in the form of fertility drugs," he said. "And the other reason for sex is recreation, and we should not be funding recreational drugs of any kind, be they psychedelic or for sexual impotency."
