<<. What does surprise me is the clause that concerns the elimination of health insurance coverage for contraception for federal employees. What in heck is that all about? Didn't this same Congress pass health insurance coverage for Viagra? This is an outrage!>>

It seems to me that logic would say that insofar as Viagra and contraception are both about recreational sex, both should be covered or both should be uncovered.

Of course if the Congressguys want Viagra only as part of a treatment-regimen for male infertility (they need it to conceive a child), then they should limit the coverage of Viagra to that purpose!

If they want it for fun, then contraception should be covered, too.

Which is worse, not being able to have sex because you can't get an erection, or because you can't have it without risking an unwanted pregnancy?

(In either case, you could, of course, if you can afford it, pay for the treatment yourself.)
