SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California taxpayers will no longer help pay the cost of impotency drugs for registered sex offenders under legislation signed Tuesday by Gov.

 

The bill amends current law that requires the state's health insurance program for the poor to help cover the cost of drugs used for treating erectile dysfunction.

Federal support for subsidized Viagra was curtailed earlier this year when a New York state audit found nearly 200 sex offenders benefiting from the program.

Schwarzenegger then asked state agencies to stop prescribing the drugs to sex offenders and asked lawmakers to pass a bill that would outlaw the coverage.

The measure was one of several crime-related bills the governor announced signing. Others will:

I think its supposed to cover them all. I am in Florida and this same problem came up here. They have stopped supplying it here to them as well.

This is proof that common sense is lacking in Government that this even needed to be addressed. They should have never been given the drug to begin with. What these articles are avoiding is the fact that some sex offenders are given chemical castration, meaning they take medication so they can't get it up. Well if all they have to do is go down and get some viagra, off they go to molest more children courtesy of the state medicaid system.
