They just don't want Medicare paying for them unless cheaper prescription drugs are also on the list of taxpayer-funded therapies for men with problems they usually attribute to 'a friend.'
As part of a plan to pay for a new initiative aimed at helping disabled Americans save tax-free for education, housing and transportation costs, a House bill unveiled Tuesday eliminates $444 million in Medicare funding for the 'vacuum erection systems.'

Republicans really don’t care about people, do they? Taking away their (free) penis pumps????????? Who thought up this little gem for the R’s, anyway? the DNC policy people?
(talk about “letting your friends down!”)
Come on, R party leadership....get to work on the big crisis issues that really threaten the future of America or America’s economy, jobs, defenses, allies, and yes, try to restore legitimacy in WashDC while you’re at it, ok?
Penis pumps?
really!

There is when it’s “free.” No matter who gets the penis pumps, it’s the taxpayers who get *****ed.

Sounds like a lot of “judges” are going to have to find something else to do during their trials.

Those pumps can also be used to inflate your bike tires.
That could e the reason for such popularity.

we obviously need to replace these old geezers with some younger Republicans, if all they can do is worry about penis pumps
