Where can "boys and men" buy Viagra in an aisle? Does that mean on the shelf at a drugstore? I don't think that's how it works...

What isle is Viagra on?

@2 because you are for a robust universal healthcare, social safety net, protest the death penalty, mass incarceration, and needless wars? When that baby be born, its fucked! Yee haw!

Yeah, @1 and @3 are correct. Viagra is not over the counter (aka "in the aisle"). It *is* covered by many health insurance plans that refuse to cover contraception, which is the usual gender gap that (rightfully) causes outrage.

My insurance covers contraception but not treatment for erectile disfunction.

Maybe "getting Viagra in the aisle" is a euphemism for something else?

I don't believe many insurance companies cover viagra or cialis despite sex being an obvious issue related to health and the exorbitant cost of these medications — blue cross certainly doesn't. They are not over-the-counter drugs, which is a stupid implication. Insurance companies operating in this state are forced by law to cover birth control.

Birth control is more widely covered and more affordable than erectile dysfunction medications. Groups like Planned Parenthood should stop exploiting this myth because it's a) false and b) insulting to poor and middle-class men who cannot buy access to medications that would help them achieve a healthy sex life.

@6 biopharmaceuticals? what happened to pharmaceuticals? my father was a senior vice president at pfizer when that shit first went out. what do you want to know? water fluoridation?

my last provider didnt cover boner pills. maybe i should check my new one, those things are expensive and AWESOME. and god damn would i love to know which anti-abortion members of congress / senate use that shit. it is one of the greatest inventions of all time!

Everyone should be giving money to Planned Parenthood.

I think abortions for non-medical, non-crimanal reasons should be against the law... As soon as we guarantee food, shelter, love, and a good education for every child born. Universally free contraception would be a nice bonus.

Generic birth control pills cost $9.00 per pack at Walmart. About the cost of a decent six-pack of beer.

@12 the problem is that "birth control pills" are not a single drug across the class. Some bc pills cause pain, disorientation, constant menstration, depression, suicidal thoughts, "brain fog", deep vein thrombosis, and other effects from hormone imbalance. Taking the $9 pills from Walmart might not be an option for someone, and this is why we need insurance and planned parenthood to eat up some of the cost of those "designer pills"--designer in that they are designed to minimize side effects in some women. Taking hormones every day is a tricky sort of business, and I'm damned glad I don't have to any more.
