Congress aims to de-fund Medicare's spending on 'penis pumps' to pay for disabilities bill...

Congressional Republicans don't have anything against penis pumps.

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.'

This whole think is being blown out of proportion.

I’m trying to distract you so I don’t have to answer your question.

Is it working?

Those things advertised in spam really work??? Medicare says so??? Who knew?

Yes, in some cases, they do. (I'm out of the closet on this: I became impotent when my bladder and prostate were removed.) And they are a whole lot cheaper and safer than surgery. Bargain pleasure. if you will.

Just use your imagination, it’s truly not that difficult to figure out.

Gee, in the '50s, there was a ad for female breast enlargement device. My mom said that as a teenager, she bit and sent off the 50 cents. Got a picture of a man's hand.

Won't say how this relates to the current story about suction penis erection devices...

girls are more interested in other things than the size...

unless you are talking about bank accounts...

The funding of penis pumps, funding the study of the sex lives of fat women.. there might be a connection here somewhere (besides government waste).
