The state once again will pick up the tab for men on Medicaid who need prescriptions for drugs treating erectile dysfunction.

In the midst of its budget negotiations Friday, the Corzine administration reversed a decision it made in May, when it began denying Medicaid recipients' coverage for Viagra, Levitra, Cialis and similar impotence prescription medications. Officials said it was a cost-cutting move that could save the state $1.5 million.

There a lot of men who have erectile dysfunction. Not mocking it (well, Bob Dole a little) but this is the deal in New Jersery.

What's happening here in Tennesse?

Inform me. I'm serious. Also, what's being done for women?

Just wondering.
