I never was okay with men having their Viagra paid for while I've had to pay for any other birth control option that wasn't the pill. However, I don't think the answer is for everything to be covered now.
Certainly, c-sections and other procedures shouldn't be considered "pre-existing conditions," but both women AND men should pay for their own medications when it's not medically necessary. Like it or not, we are the ones who can become pregnant so the onerous will always be on us to engage in safe practices if we aren't ready to have children. Likewise, whether or not a man can get an erection to engage in personal activity isn't something I, as a taxpayer and payer into the insurance industry, should have to pay.
