RE: Insurers. Why should there be so much concern with the issue of some insurers not paying for Viagra. You'd think the solution to this problem would be easy, change insurers? Also I think insurer's are missing the point by not paying for Viagra. A lot of medical conditions are psych-osomatic, i.e. the patient is depressed from some condition (even impotence) and those feelings are translated subconciously to something like a sore stomach or sleepnessness. So the client is getting treatment for symptoms of an underlying ailment without going to the root of the problem. If the underlying problem is erectile dysfunction, cure the real problem by letting clients take Viagra and you save from the indirect "cures"!
