"Why are women being singled out here? It's so unfair," Boxer said on the Senate floor Tuesday. "We don't tell men that if they want to ... buy insurance coverage through their pharmaceutical plan for Viagra that they can't do it."
If Viagra were considered morally objectionable by millions of people, she might have a point. The issue of forcing Americans to pay for something they object to doesn't factor into her thinking.
If it'll make her happy, I propose an amendment to cut coverage of Viagra and any sexually related treatment for men in the Health Care Bill. Fair's fair.
Somehow, I suspect she wouldn't object if abortion was included, but Viagra was excluded.
