Title: Pfizer says free Viagra for men who lost their jobs
Post by: RobJohnson on May 15, 2009, 08:00:19 AM

TRENTON, N.J. - Pfizer Inc. says it will provide 70 of its most widely prescribed prescription drugs -- including Lipitor and Viagra -- for free to people who have lost their jobs and health insurance.

The world's biggest drugmaker said Thursday it will give away the medicines for up to a year to Americans who lost jobs since Jan. 1 and have been on the Pfizer drug for three months or more.

The announcement comes amid massive job losses caused by the recession and a campaign in Washington to rein in health-care costs and extend coverage. The move could earn Pfizer some goodwill in that debate after long being a target of critics of drug industry prices and sales practices.

Of course, 99% of insurance companies do not cover ED drugs in the first place.

Question: Do DUmmies consider VIAGRA a recreational drug?

And after a few men OD on the VIAGRA, will the accompanying heart attacks be blamed on "Bush" ? :naughty:
