My bad. I looked all over for a thread on this before staring my own, but in the thousands of Obama-bashing threads, I must have missed it.

No one I know of has encountered this issue. Sounds like an isolated incident.

Right. If it didn't happen to anyone
I know, it can't possibly be worthy of discussion.

What is more likely is that there are hundereds of types of birth control and only certain ones are covered while there aren't as many ED meds more of them are covered.

Health insurance companies don't cover various meds based on the number of
other similar meds out there. They base it on WHAT the med does, and whether the individual actually NEEDS that med to avoid/treat an illness.
There are numerous health-related reasons a doctor would prescribe BCPs that have nothing whatever to do with preventing pregnancy. There is only ONE reason a doctor would prescribe Viagra - to make an impotent man's floppy penis stiff (which isn't a
health issue; it's an
ego issue).

Lastly what in the same hell can any POTUS do to affect what medicines are covered by private insurance companies... well other than nationalizing the industry.

Firstly, John McCain is not the president (and at the rate he's going, he never will be). Secondly, the issue of whether insurance companies should be required to cover BCPs came up in congress. McCain voted AGAINST it. (But I'll bet you my left breast he pops one of those little blue pills before hopping into the sack with his ice-queen wife.)
But beyond the ED/BCP issue, don't you find McCain's inability/refusal to respond even a little bit troubling? He doesn't know how he voted on the matter, and even when he's been told his position, he still refuses to discuss it.
LOSER!
