• Gender Equality

  Regarding the debate about contraception and what insurance companies should and should not be required to cover, I’d really like some gender equality here….and some common sense to be applied!  Insurance prescription drug plans already cover the cost for Viagra, Cialis etc. So I really do believe and think it is quite logical for the government to demand insurance companies, before agreeing to pay for men’s erectile dysfunction treatments, require that all men seeking treatment undergo both psychological and physical exams (rectal digital one) and also, before going ahead with any treatment, view a video of the medical procedure done on men suffering from the ”over 4 hour erection” problem which evidently is dangerous and can occur….or require these same men to choose celibacy instead of treatment if they refuse to comply with these regulations. A couple of women in Congress have already proposed similar bills.

  The Democrats may play that old GOP wedge issue game and use this contraception and women’s health care debate for a wedge issue in the coming election. If they are smart, they should use it along with the need for jobs, energy independence, developing alternative energy fuels, and the growing economic disparity. It will be an interesting election year.
