Any word if a test-case is going to be initiated re: ACA coverage for Viagra and vasectomies?

5. I partially agree, but partially disagree

I really agree that Viagra should not be covered by any insurance under the ACA. People who want that can find a Cadillac type of insurance to cover it.

As for a vasectomy, that's a bit different. Having had one at an early age (and I do mean early) I think insurance should cover it since it is a one time out patient procedure. I'm not sure how much it is now, but when I got mine it ran about $200.

I fundamentally disagree with the Hobby Lobby decision, but at the same time I don't think any birth control should be limited. It's not pitting women against men or men against women, but allowing a choice for couples or individuals who decide they either don't want children or the time is not right.

I understand that women need birth control for other reasons then to prevent pregnancies. When I was in college I was dating a woman who's menstruation was so bad, sometimes she would double over in pain. Even though I could not feel the pain, it didn't mean I couldn't feel empathy for her. There was in fact one time when I insisted she go to the emergency room and drove her there (I remember that because the doctor was a major dick).

So in my opinion it's not really right to put Viagra and vasectomies on the same stage.
