Teachers fight for Viagra drug coverage

I read this story in the Cape Cod Times and asked myself WWRHD? (What Would Randy Hunt Do?).  This article is not about Sandwich -- but it is certainly amusing from a budgetary/union perspective -- "Fire my union brothers & sisters -- just don't cut-off my Viagra!"

I'm having a hard time not adding an inappropriate comment ...

August 06, 2010   MADISON, Wis - With the district in a financial crisis and hundreds of its members facing layoffs, the Milwaukee teachers union is taking a peculiar stand: fighting to get its taxpayer-funded Viagra back.

The union has asked a judge to order the school board to again include Pfizer Inc.'s erectile dysfunction drug and similar pills in its health insurance plans.
