Bill O'Reilly: Viagra should be covered, birth control should not

Bill O’Reilly may not be defending Rush Limbaugh this week, however he did defend insurance coverage of Viagra rather than that of birth control.

Appearing Thursday on “The View,” O’Reilly weighed in on the debate as to whether contraception should be covered in President Obama’s new health care initiative. The media personality said contraception use did not fall into the appropriate category for coverage, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control, while erectile dysfunction did.

"Viagra comes under the government’s guidelines for a medical condition. Contraception doesn't," O’Reilly said.

I hadn't seen this most recent piece of ignorant spittle from O'Reilly posted yet.

Pregnancy (a sequelae of not using contraception) is a condition and they will use it against us if it happens to be "pre-existing". i.e. you are pregnant when taking up new insurance...sorry, many won't cover that.

O'Rielly is a freak.

whereas birth control is just for recreation.

For that reason, and that reason alone, NOBODY should subsidize his limp dick medicine...in fact, legislation should be proposed to ban him from this substance.

Ain't nobody want to fuck this loser anyway.

that contraceptives are often prescribed as treatment for MEDICAL CONDITIONS (ovarian cysts, etc.), whereas Viagra is ALWAYS prescribed as treatment for erectile dysfunction.

Hmmmmm.........trying to think of any uses for an erection other than the purely recreational one.........?
