Dangerous DHS Policy
I know the NYPost is prone to sensationalism, but WTF?
Medicaid is providing Viagra to nearly 200 of the state's worst sexual predators, under a federal program that has outraged local lawmakers, according to a new government report.
Why?
In 1998, the department informed states that Medicaid programs covering prescription drugs must also cover Viagra when medically necessary, or face financial sanctions.
I'm no doctor, but I should think Viagra would never be 'medically necessary' for a pervert. They should not have access to those types of drugs at all, let alone requiring Medicaid to pay for it.
WTH are you people thinking?
