Highlighting her left-wing agenda and the extreme lengths to which Democrats are going to preserve their massive government-run health care bill, U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) voted today to block an amendment that would have prohibited health care plans administered by the federal government from covering erectile dysfunction drugs for individuals convicted of child molestation, rape, or other forms of sexual assault.

The amendment, which was offered by U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), was defeated by Boxer and her Democrat Senate colleagues during today’s health care reconciliation debate.  

“Barbara Boxer’s decision to allow individuals convicted of child molestation, rape, or other forms of sexual assault to obtain taxpayer-funded drugs like Viagra is disgusting and disturbing,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokeswoman Amber Marchand. “Once again, Boxer put partisan politics before her constituents, and showed Californians that she’s beholden to the extreme left. We’re confident that voters will hold Senator Boxer accountable for this revolting vote in November.”
