There has been a plethora of news about women’s health coverage and Obamacare. Issues such as the contraceptive mandate focus entirely on women. There is also the push for additional free medical preventative measures such as mammograms and PAP tests.
But what provisions are there for men and their health? What about the millions of men who suffer from prostate cancer? Shouldn’t they have free screening also? I’ve seen statistics that say that nearly 25% – 33% of all men will prostate cancer by the age of 60-80.
The rate of testicular cancer is also on the rise. Shouldn’t that be provided free just as those screenings are for women?
checkups for reproductive or sexual health problems
colon cancer screening
erectile dysfunction services, including education, exams, treatment, and referral
jock itch exam and treatment
male infertility screening and referral
premature ejaculation services, including education, exams, treatment, and referral
routine physical exams
testicular cancer screenings
prostate cancer screenings
urinary tract infections testing and treatment
vasectomy
From the planned parenthood site... so, now what???
Male pattern baldness and viagara are covered, AND the previous exams are based on income, ....zero or sliding scale, so your actual premise on this topic is wrong.
