38. They are in no way equivalent. No coverage for Prostate Cancer maybe comes closer but is still a
ways off.

I think those might be the most equivalent.

23. Not the same.
Pregnancy is a cooperative affair in most case. She has to go along with the sex act. Pregnancy is a result of sex. She has the option to say no.
ED is a valid medical condition. It is curable in some cases by medication. To equate one to the other is juvenial at best.

of rape. What percentage of live births are due to rape.

24. lol - "suffer" from "ED" -- you suffer from PES -- Pharma-marketing Euphemism Syndrome.
Call it what it is. Impotence.

And more seriously, if a man is 40, 50, 60 or 70 and finds he can't get it up anymore, or more likely can't get it up as often or as quickly as he used to - well, that's just the way nature is supposed to work! To everything there is a season, etc. etc. We're not supposed to be randy teenagers forever.

26. FYI, there are many reasons why someone may have impotence issues at a younger age....
Are you saying that only men of a certain age should have access to medical help for it? That is not a great precedent to set.... lets see.... everyone's eyes get worse with age.... why should you get glasses? You'll die soon anyway!

35. for a place obsessed with sex,
there is no empathy here for people with this problem. i hope they are never in a position to decide between treating their high blood pressure and ever having sex again. i suspect they will sing a different tune.

25. I disagree.
Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 09:36 PM by Lisa0825
Impotence is a medical problem. As long as insurance will cover women's sexual health issues, I have no problem with Viagra being covered. I only have a problem with it with relation to carriers who refuse to cover birth control pills or other important women's health matters. Don't cover us? Then don't cover men.
