Women's health vs penile enhancements
| Wed, 11-18-2009 - 7:26pm |
Hello. New here, but need to air an issue that's bothering me quite a bit lately: How our representatives are willing to abandon a full appropriate spectrum of health care for 50% of the US population. This issue really rubbed into my feeling of vulnerability recently, when I read the below quote taken from the Philadelphia Inquirer, written by columnist Karen Heller, about the recent transit strike there (Nov 7, 2009). --
"You have to admire the massive brakes of SEPTA union boss Willie Brown. He authorized TWU Local 234's World Series surprise 3 a.m. strike Tuesday, which put the city in one perpetual traffic jam, stranding the very sort of workers (and their children) he represents....
"Unlike SEPTA employees, many workers contribute to their health-care coverage because that's what living in this economy means.
"But, hey, Viva Viagra!
"Yes, it appears that labor issues are not the only dysfunction troubling SEPTA workers. The Daily News reported that some are unhappy that their current health-care plans cover - and here it's important to use caps for emphasis - ONLY 10 VIAGRA PILLS A MONTH.
"Some union members want the pill - again, excuse the shouting - DAILY, which makes you worry that every bus, trolley, and subway route has the potential to turn into an express, particularly during those problematic four-hour peaks in service.
"Look, I don't want to dump solely on the SEPTA workers, who average $52,000 in annual wages.
"There's reason to dump on SEPTA bosses as well.
They promised the moon and the stars to workers - and look how well that's turned out...."
Personally, I wonder what the female Septa workers received in counter-balance to male sexual enhancement. Gee, could it be insurance coverage for those golly fun gyn exams?
I'm going to let this post stand or fall on its own merits. BTW, I'm a post-menopausal woman who yearns for equal representation in this country.

I could rant about this subject all day...
I think this drug is a great thing for men who need it. I do believe it should be covered by health insurance just as i would feel a female version (if there was one) should be covered. Your health insurance should cover your physical self. An adult not being able to get aroused would be a very embarrassing and stressful problem. It should be limited how much health insurance will pay for, but covered nonetheless. I know some people might not agree with me. Sex is not a necessity but a lack of it can create self-esteem and relationship problems which could lead to more problems.
The only thing is, i don't think they'll ever be a female version. I have been so annoyed lately by all of these idiots saying that a woman's lack of desire is psychological and not physical. People act as if female genitalia doesn't have to do something in order to become aroused. Stress and whatnot can play a factor but if you're having sex and not getting anything out of it physically, either you need more foreplay or there is something wrong with you (hormones, birth control, blood flow...whatever).
"Reminds me of being in Bombay, India back in my Navy days.....a huge billboard on the street showing a picture of a cheap 35 MM camera with a caption under it saying anyone getting their tubes tied would receive the camera FREE!! Hmmm, wonder how many folks took advantage of that...?"
I'll get mine done for free! Where are these doctors in America? ha!
