Forty-six states plan to freeze or reduce payments to hospitals or other health providers this year, Kaiser said. Thirteen states have eliminated at least one benefit in the last two years, such as dental care, and “almost all states have been making substantial changes in Medicaid pharmacy programs,” the group said, such as requiring state approval for prescriptions that aren’t on a “preferred drug list.”

I keep hearing that viagra and penile pumps are covered by medicare, but funny thing is that they are not. Viagra falls under medicare part d, the prescription drug plans, which are INDEPENDENT of medicare.

And I have news for you, Viagra IS NOT covered under any part d prescription plan.
