No Viagra for Offenders?

As Obama's Health Care bill has finally passed in the house, and now it has moved into the Senate for reconciliation, where the Republicans can do little to slow the bill down from its process of being passed other than proposing new amendments to the bill. One of these amendments is one that will omit the purchase of Viagra or other such male enhancement medications from the health care plan, at least for registered sex offenders.

This is an interesting tactic on the republicans part, because small and seemingly meaningless amendments to the bill will take time to be voted on, and will stall the process a great deal. This really is the only option the Republicans have, because this bill is basically going to pass no matter what happens in the Senate debates during the reconciliation period.
