Boxer Goes There

Senator Boxer hits back at the impotent white man's club and their healthcare hypocrisy:

BOXER: There’s nothing in this amendment that says if a man some days wants to buy Viagra, for example, that his pharmaceutical coverage cannot cover it, that he has to buy a rider. I wouldn’t support that. And they shouldn’t support going after a woman using her own private funds for her reproductive health care. Is it fair to say to a man you’re going to have to buy a rider to buy Viagra and this will be public information that could be accessed? No, I don’t support that. I support a man’s privacy, just as I support a woman’s privacy.

Again, it's worth noting that Viagra -- a chemically induced erection -- was covered by Medicare until around 2007.
