The SUING teachers to cover Viagra Group Health Insurance Plans -

Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association filed a complaint to discrimination against male employees to the exclusion of erectile dysfunction drugs Medicare plans. This was a legal challenge in two years that the teachers union "argued that the exclusion of drugs is discriminatory against male employees.

the Journal Sentinel reports the school board to cut the state drugs against erectile dysfunction of their health insurance policies in 05 to save money. the cost reduction measure is estimated to save $ 786,000 per year.

drugs were initially offered in teachers' health insurance plans in 02 and 04, over 1000 prescriptions were filled in one year for the drug.

In the past, work and Review Board ruled in favor of the school board of the state because the MTEA has not proved that teachers were victims of discrimination.

which may be even more surprising is that nearly 482 teachers were dismissed in June and only 89 were later called back to work, that Teachers' Education Association Milwaukee is also protesting.

Many believe that $ 786,000 should be made to provide jobs and salaries of teachers instead of medically necessary treatment.

It seems that MTEA should fight for their colleagues who were sacked and taking of other cost-cutting measures to save jobs. Typically drugs against erectile dysfunction are not included in the plans of government employees and are only available in large and expensive health insurance plans.
