Lemme get something straight.
According to a late night TV commercial your company is willing to cover the cost for “Pos-T-Vac” so that an 80 year-old man can still get a hard-on.
But you’re NOT willing to cover prescription cough syrup for people suffering from bronchitis.
Really?
Signed,
Not sick just confused.

After posting that as a Status Update on Facebook I received several very funny comments. And let’s face it. It’s always better to find a way to laugh rather than stay angry. So I decided to share two particular comments with you fine people.
1. Sarah: Well, what if you bone that 80 year old who can now get a hard on, and charge him a fee that covers the cost of your cough syrup? Sarah is ALWAYS thinking.
Followed by:
2. Mary: Sarah will bone for cough syrup with codeine. BYOBM (Bring Your Own Boner Meds)
And that’s exactly how this t-shirt and this coffee mug were born.
But all kidding aside….
Clearly, there is something very wrong with our entire health care system.
Discuss.
Didn’t I offer my solution above?
xoxo, Sarah
I flippen love you.
And thank you for one of THE BEST comment threads EVER on FB.
Oh it’s totally busted. Want me to send you my half a bottle?
Awwww. You’re so sweet!!
See what happens when men are in charge? Makes total sense, I mean for goodness sakes we all know what they hold dear and the pun was intended!
I can’t imagine wanting a boner at eighty. I mean, how much can you REALLY do with it at that point? Also: System is a ClusterF-
While I’m nowhere near that age, or in need of such assistance, I can’t speak to the fairness, or medical necessity of any such device. And as far as I (want to) know while my father was alive, they were very happy with out a Pos-T-Vac. I’m not looking forward to Medicare, if it still exists by then. Now, having recently made a few trips to CVS for my 84 year old mother, and seeing what she has to pay for non-Medicare-covered medications, I’ll have to give a resounding “Hell Yes!” it’s wrong. And I don’t see it getting any better.
Bwhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahha!
OMG…both Sarah AND Mary’s comments are freakin’ HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!
You GO, girls!
And that T-shirt? Freakin’ BRILLIANT!
And it’s ironic that you posted this because my mother is presently having MAJOR issues with her health insurance, and the coverage of her medication.
Yeah…..
“Clearly, there is something very wrong with our entire health care system.”
I agree!
FAB post, Meleah!

I can’t top Sarah and Mary’s comments, too funny! But seriously, there is something wrong with our healthcare system and it needs to be fixed. Hopefully soon!
Yes, there is clearly something wrong with the system because clearly it has the common sense of a teenager like most companies {I would just once like to watch TV without seeing an ad for something similar}. Unfortunately it does not seem to be getting any better.
I’m fortunate enough to rarely get sick, and when I do, I generally don’t go to the doctor. For that reason, the entire realm of Medicare, health insurance, PMOs, DMO, and WTFs confuses me greatly. But yeah, if they are willing to cover erection pills and not cough syrup… yeah… that’s effed up.
That’s peculiar. I thought cough syrup would be covered too. I’ve assumed 80 year old men can still function sexually. Is there something I don’t know?
Wherever did you get the idea that curing sick people was equally as important as making sure elderly men can still get it up? I’m sure Hugh Hefner would smack you upside the head for that kind of thinking!
(Hope you feel better soon!)
Good one, Lucy!
EXACTLY!
System is totally fucked.
Thanks, Ron!
Sorry to hear your mom is having such issues.
What a freaking nightmare.
When Mary made that shirt?
I laughed so hard I had tears running down my legs.
Absolutely.
Clearly.
And it’s ENOUGH with those commercials.
Thanks, Mike.
And can I borrow YOUR immune system?
Yep. They don’t cover cough syrup.
How crazy IS that?
And, I don’t even wanna think about 80 year old penises.
Let alone whether or not they can get hard!
Ahahahahahhah!
Maybe I’m too Canadian, but I don’t understand how Medicare can cover boner meds and not cough meds. Um, it’s medication. Why bother enrolling for Medicare if they’re not going to cover you when you’re sick? Seriously. I really don’t understand.
And people wonder why the system is broken.
I guess the men in charge of Medicare care more about boners than bronchitis. Totally hilarious!
I have yet to find a cough syrup that works.
Nor an 84 year old man.
Hey, it’s rough out there. Remember that your health care system is working HARD trying to STIMULATE the economy. It’s a stiff job, but sometimes it takes firm hand to insure that we are up to the task. (Sorry. Couldn’t help myself here.)
Just goes to show how f’d up things are. We’re more worried about birth control and male enhancement than we are about the common cold. We may not be able to treat your cough, but we can spice up your 80 year old love life. Nice to have something to look forward to in our old age…
Must either be a generation thing, or that I’m from the UK, but I never heard of boning. When it comes to 80 year old men, I’m don’t think I want to know!
Thankfully, with our NHS we can get whatever we need. Sometimes even when we don’t really want it.
Maybe it’s just their way of admitting
that cough syrup isn’t really medicine. Seriously, it’s just alcohol
and flavour. Probably better off just having a few shots of Sambuca!
Back when I was trying to get pregnant, health insurance covered Viagra but not infertility treatments. That’s what happens when men rule the world. The most important thing in the world is a hard-on.
This made my day. I was sure the comments would have been from Mooooog though I suspect if he did comment you couldn’t publish them.
Seriously. It’s so hard to get coverage for something like eating disorder treatment but heaven forbid we deprive the world of an elderly erect penis.
Well, I could sit here all day and complain about health care, but I won’t except to say: Why does every health care decision in this country have to be interrupted by some ultra-conservative religious fanatic? Why do special interest groups such as these get more air time and politician ear-bending that common sense groups?
I’ve boned for much less
Yes, there is definitely something VERY wrong with the health care system. I have times when I can’t afford my meds and have to be in pain… and yet I pay out the you know what for health insurance. ARGH!
do NOT get me started on healthcare… i have worked for a HC company for 17 years now that you definitely know (you might even be our member since we live in the same area) and even I think the system is fucked up…
Seriously, it’s totally fucked up.
Yep!
It IS funny. And quite sad!
HA!
*sigh *
I need YOUR health insurance!
Good idea. Maybe that will make me feel better.
How upsetting!!!
Glad you laughed!
I wish I knew Margaret.
Ahahahhahaha!
I know. Totally wrong.
🙂
You would definitely gain from our NHS 🙂
