Medicare Stops Paying For Viagra

As of the 1st of January men in America are no longer allowed to get free Viagra on the Medicare health insurance plans. This is bound to affect the sales of the erectile dysfunction drug for Pfizer. Medicare feel that in many cases the free Viagra is being used by men who do not really need the impotence drug but who are using it purely to boost their performance in bed.

Medicare will be making big savings of many millions of dollars as a result of this move and some men are up in arms about their loss of free Viagra. Medicare did say however that there are exceptions to the rule and that if a man needs Viagra, Cialis or Levitra for pulmonary arterial hypertension then they would consider paying for it.

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the issue and in Congress in the United States some were in favour of the proposals and others said that erectile dysfunction drugs should still be part of privately funded healthcare programs.

At Ukmedix we realise that the issue is a difficult one as it is very difficult to determine the extent of a man’s erectile dysfunction and doctors feel that sometimes a man will exaggerate his problem in order to get the doctor to prescribe him Viagra.

We had a big discussion about this in the Ukmedix newsroom the other day and the debate focused on the statement “Does a man have a right to be able to get an erection?” Some said that he did and others felt that he did but felt that a man only had the right to get an erection everyday for a long time if he was younger or he was willing to pay for erectile dysfunction drugs. Needless to say the discussion went on for ages and was not resolved clearly.

The Medicare decision will definitely save them money and will surely root out a few men who are abusing the system but it will also affect the love lives and relationships if a number of men and women who have come to rely on impotence drugs for satisfactory sex.
