Your tax dollars at work...

Just saw an ad for this thing. It's a little device which purports to do what Viagara does, but without pills. Instead, it uses a "vacuum therapy system", which supposedly does the job in 4 minutes. So you sit there, for 4 minutes, while this vacuum... yeah.

And they're making enough money off of this to afford (late night) national TV ads. Charging nothing up front, and with people to handle all the paperwork for you, because - and this is the kicker - it's covered by Medicare, the US government insurance program for the elderly and disabled.
