Mexico City Unveils Bold ‘Free Viagra for Seniors’ Plan

cosmosmagazine.com

Shortly after this plan is implemented, Mexico City officials might note a marked increase in senior men requesting treatment using Spanish phrasebooks.

Now here’s one way to win elections: Government officials in Mexico City are offering free medication to hombres of a certain age who suffer from erectile dysfunction.

CNN:

“Everyone has the right to be happy,” said Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, governor of the federal district that encompasses the Mexican capital.

“We have to protect people—senior citizens above all,” he said in a statement Thursday. “Many of them are abandoned and lack money. They don’t have medical services, and a society that doesn’t care for its senior citizens has no dignity.”

Here is a definitely overpopulated country, whose population is driven by poverty, unemployment, and the lack of medical care and education for its young, into making a desperate deadly crossing into the USA for sweatshop work, and THIS is what it decides is a good social program!

The world everywhere is run by and for aging males. Unfortunately, they can’t see beyond their own noses - no make that penises.

If the old guy is horny who is he going to sleep with? If a pro - you are introducing a STD vector to the senior population—note articles on STD’s raising fastest in the US over 60 population.

Maybe the old women are not up to “Happy” old men?

So how about medications for illness that the entire population could use? Diabetes? Heart meds? Anti-biotics?
