Here is an ironic and a welcome twist that most women will appreciate. That little blue wonder pill named Viagra has now become an icon for women seeking contraceptive equity. More often than not, the same health care plan that pays for Viagra will not pay for contraceptive prescriptions for women.
Contraceptive equity is something women have been upset about for years.
Now Viagra and its ironic eligibility for insurance coverage has brought the issue front and forward in a national debate. Let it be stated quickly that most women are not against insurance eligibility for Viagra. Women, like my wife, simply point to the fact that men s issues historically take a higher priority in state and national legislative bodies where men dominate the scene. My wife has long contended that if men could get pregnant, a perfect birth control method would have been discovered decades ago. And it would be free.
