Kaiser and Viagra

Re “State Investigates Kaiser’s Refusal to Provide Viagra,” July 3:
How arrogant of state Sen. John Vasconcellos (D-Santa Clara) to think he could take away every Californian’s right to the best HMO the state has to offer. I am appalled by the thought that Kaiser’s excellent service should not be available to me any longer, simply because it chooses to avoid rising costs due to the craze on Viagra, by not covering the costs of the pill.
Kaiser is the best health care there is--I have tried other HMOs and was shocked by the bad service and hassles I encountered and would not appreciate being forced to go back to any one of them. As for the men who choose to die because they cannot stand the thought of living without sex, rather than submitting to a life-saving yet impotency-causing surgery, that is their choice. And a rather pitiful one, I might add. Their limited comprehension of what life is about should not affect my choice of a good HMO.
