Sex offenders to lose free Viagra
Red-faced officials at the federal Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services withdrew the freebie yesterday and blamed the mess on a Clinton administration foulup.
"The Medicaid program should not pay for the cost of erectile dysfunction drugs for sex offenders," spokesman Gary Karr said.
Notices were going out to states as early as yesterday, less than 24 hours after New York State Controller Alan Hevesi revealed 198 of the state's most dangerous sex fiends were being reimbursed for the impotence drug, courtesy of Medicaid.
Karr said state officials were apparently unaware they didn't have to include Viagra as part of the sex offenders' Medicaid coverage because they were confused by a 1998 Clinton-era letter. That letter listed Viagra as a drug that could be covered by Medicaid.
Hevesi's disclosure of the bizarre drug benefit prompted NY Democrats Senator Chuck Schumer to draft federal legislation banning Viagra coverage for all sex offenders on Medicaid. His fellow Democrat Sen. Hillary Clinton also put out a statement decrying the free Viagra for fiends.
"Giving convicted sex offenders Viagra is like giving convicted murderers an assault rifle when they get out of jail," Schumer said.
