... Samantha Bee taught The Daily Show viewers way more than they ever wanted to know about federally funded penis pumps. With Medicare spending $172 million on penis pumps over the last five years, Bee set out to find out why nobody seems to notice or care.

1. I noticed!!! Was recently discussing this with a coworker

How in the HELL could anyone bitch about Medicare paying for birth control when it pays for penis pumps.

Maybe the Daily Show was listening!

2. Do you know someone who has Medicare pay for their birth control?

4. Couple of items

Medicare is very screwy in a lot of ways. Penis pumps are considered durable medical equipment, thus covered under Medicare Part B. BC are considered prescription drugs, and are thus covered under Part D if at all (I'm not sure). Blame congress and the piecemeal legislation.

(to the first reply) Medicare does have people permanently disabled or who are HIV positive and are of child bearing age.
