Irresistable force meets Immovable Object

The front page headlines on UK Daily Mail this morning is 'Viagra could cost NHS 1 Billion'

Also lead item on TV news last night.

Irresistable force: Viagra, I cannot honestly see it being banned here on the grounds that it is unsafe.

Immovable object: The Great British Public will never pay this much out of their taxes to fund viagra on the NHS when we have the longest queues ever for operations.

Vivus/Astra needs to be careful here that muse does not become delisted from cover by an NHS blanket refusal to cover ED treatments. For reasons we all know muse has some protection but Vivus should not go to sleep.

I am trying to think about what might happen?
