Could You Tell Me Again Why Teachers Unions Are So Great?
Question by Poke_the_Bear: Could you tell me again why teachers unions are so great?
http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/100108249.html
With the district in a financial crisis and hundreds of its members facing layoffs, the Milwaukee teachers union is taking a peculiar stand: fighting to get their taxpayer-funded Viagra back.
The union has asked a judge to order the school board to again include Pfizer Inc.’s erectile dysfunction drug and similar pills in its health insurance plans.
The filing is the latest in a two-year legal campaign in which the union has argued, so far unsuccessfully, that the board’s policy of excluding erectile dysfunction drugs discriminates against male employees. The union says Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and others are necessary treatment for “an exclusively gender-related condition.”
Insert your own joke here.
The Patriot- So a fight for teachers to be able to engage in recreational sex is something the taxpayers should pay for? I guess there are fools everywhere.

Answer by Opie Taylor
Viagra should not be covered on medical insurance.
It’s not a “medication”, and does not treat an “illness”.
