McCain ducks Viagra question
Back in July, McCain was asked about his voting record on long term health insurance. With abortion such a extra important issue in the Presidential Election campaign, someone asked him a direct question - makes a refreshing change to find someone asking a politician for a straight answer on Viagra. It went along the lines, “Did you vote in the Senate against a proposal to require insurance companies to cover contraceptives?” To give you a little background information, most private medical insurance companies will not cover the cost of any contraceptive product but will pay for their male policy holders to get their Viagra. When women are good enough to be appointed as the policy makers, they can pay out for the women to get their contraceptives. Now far be it for me to suggest this is a tad sexist - men set the terms of every policy and they favor the men who pay the premiums. No. Perhaps that is fair.
Anyway, let’s not get into that. When asked the question, McCain gave one of those straight answers he is so famous for, “I don’t know enough about it to give you an informed answer because I don’t recall the vote.” The FDA is going to require a warning on labels. Looks like McCain has been using cheap Viagra just a little too long if he can’t remember how he votes on important political issues. And just so you don’t get confused, I’m against gender discrimination in any and every form.
