Many men in this country are denied sex because their insurance companies won’t pay for ED medications. But the Mexican government is handing out free Viagra to elderly men with erectile dysfunction because they believe “everyone has a right to be happy”. 

Where did they get that idea? Stole it from our Declaration of Independence, of course! We are the only country which guarantees “the pursuit of happiness”.  Mexico goes one step further: it pays for it.

I believe men with prostate cancer should have their ED drugs reimbursed by insurance companies. There is a clear parallel here: women who’ve had breast cancer who have reconstructive surgery are covered by insurance. These operations are done not to ensure the womens’ survival but to improve their quality of life — make them feel better about themselves. In the same way, men who have ED as a consequence of PC should be allowed their “happiness”. And they’ll very likely feel better about themselves in the process.

I hate to encourage gender wars, but this is a no-brainer.

Here is the whole news story from cnninternational.com:

“Beginning December 1, Mexico City plans to hand out free medicine to elderly men with erectile dysfunction, the local government said, Medications such as Viagra, Levitra or Cialis reportedly will be offered under medical supervision.

“Everyone has the right to be happy,” said Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, governor of the federal district that encompasses the Mexican capital. “We have to protect people — senior citizens above all,” he said in a statement Thursday. “Many of them are abandoned and lack money. They don’t have medical services, and a society that doesn’t care for its senior citizens has no dignity”.

“To obtain the medicine, men must first undergo a “very, very detailed” medical check to screen for and possibly treat ailments such as hypertension and diabetes, the government said.”
