I want to know if you, the GOP prophets, take ED medication! If yes, it is costing me money because of your government-funded health insurance! Erectile dysfunction drugs are a $55 BILLION dollar per year industry. Many more health insurance companies cover the cost of erectile dysfunction drugs than oral contraceptives. That is equality? That is parity?

John Kyl, Mike Pence and every other GOP prophet legislator: I want to know if you have ever had to have surgery for a penile implant! If yes, that surgery has cost me money because of your government-funded health insurance!

John Boehner, why are you always crying? Are you taking ED drugs and having an adverse reaction? If so, you are costing me money due to the cost of erectile dysfunction drugs!
