Being the healthcare provider I can share this without cringing, but it will make some of you sit up with a bit of squirming. Just to share one of those stats to keep us all humble- 40% of men over age 40 will have some dealing with impotence. From a basic human intimacy element- those commercials wouldn't be still playing without an audience. 5-10 years ago, my sweetheart got notice of melanoma and prostate cancer within 24 hours, recovery was challenging, even without messing with a man's brain on the topic of intimacy. When we think of "health", mental health parity, prosthetic parity, etc. seem a tough set of standards to set and decide if we will pay for in commercial or public options, they say things about us as a society (although exactly what I am not always sure). Do we mandate breast reconstruction but not continence surgeries depending on need? Do we only cover basic starter prostheses after someone loses a leg? There are extremes that we might agree on like not paying for $80,000 computerized prosthesis, but where is the line? Sorry not more logical, there is lots to these topics and we really haven't been able to fully "debate", figured I would get some rambling out of my head in one fell swoop, Dee
