Saturday night live cold opening about erectile dysfunction

[greymattermom]

not being a preexisting condition struck me as medically interesting, not a joke. It's a matter of circulation, right? Here's a way to help folks. Get the insurance companies to include erectile dysfunction in the preexisting condition list. Look at the causes here. Erectile dysfunction is a symptom of heart disease, metabolic syndrome, etc.

1. K&R. It shows us how risk is constructed to be sure

We should also ask if affluenza or being a white male (Full disclosure: I am one) who owns lots of guns are also pre-existing conditions. since they are always the ones going on shooting sprees and then we hear about them being mentally ill, it's clear they pose a high risk to society, right?

2. Yes, but erectile dysfunction

is a "see your doctor" condition and it will be in your medical records for the insurance companies to see.

3. Oh yes. We should just see what's NOT a high-risk condition according to these people as a whole

4. And who voted for the ACHA?

OLD WHITE MEN. If only they didn't exclude themselves. Now we know why.
