>> Maybe women have an issue with having to pay for prostate surgeries and Viagra prescriptions. Issue or not, they still pay. The question of whether insurance pays for Viagra ought to be between an insurance company and its insured. And no one else. Prostate surgery would typically be covered as an illness, just as would hysterectomy and I've never heard of anyone having an issue with it. Viagra could be considered treatment of an illness I suppose (unlike contraceptives when used as such). But coverage of both these items should be left up to the parties paying for and receiving the benefits. This is not like Al's wife's preventive care which I don't want to pay for yet would be required to if I were on an Obamacare policy. And for all I know, am paying for even though I'm not.
