The union has asked a judge to order the school board to again include Pfizer Inc.'s erectile dysfunction drug and similar pills in its health insurance plans.

Sorry, you already had your outrage-of-the-day on that one...

Hey...they have long cold winters up there, ya know!

Some things are just so hard to believe! Sheesh!

Unions for public workers is just wrong. And I hope Walker up in Wisconsin shuts it all down. Fire all the teachers and go private. More power to Walker and the state republicans!!!!!!

LJ:

Everything you can't defend is an outrage of the day only to you. Typical Liberal defense, bulls##t!!!

Digging back 6 months to be outraged about something you already posted about... Typical right-wing bulls##t!!

LJ-Derangement-Syndrome again...

LJ Derangement Syndrome? What does a post about Viagra have to do with you LJ? I see no mention of you in the OP.

So Wisconsin taxpayers who have already taken a hit will actually be paying more torward the teacher's health insurance than the teachers themselves who have minimal co-pays and free prescriptions?
Sounds fair to me, not!

NO! Read the complete story and you will see that coverage of Viagra has been excluded since 2005 and are trying to get it back. So far they have not been successful.

But, but... So much outrage, and so little time!!??!?!?!
