Minnesota stops paying for Viagra

The Star-Tribune reports that handing out Viagra to rich people over 65 might not be a top priority in the state of Minnesota:

The state of Minnesota is quietly getting out of the business of paying for three controversial treatments that affect the sex lives or sex organs of low-income patients.

Starting today, the state will no longer cover routine circumcisions, unless "required by religious practice," under its insurance plans for 670,000 low-income Minnesotans, according to the Department of Human Services.

It's also dropping coverage of Viagra and other impotence drugs.

You probably figured that a legal challenge is coming on this one.
