The military spends more on giving retirees erections than on transgender troops
By: Jeff Schogol   48 minutes ago
The reports noted that the estimated $8 million per year that the Defense Department will spend on healthcare for about 7,000 transgender troops is minuscule compared to how much the military spends to treat sexual dysfunction in men.
Military Times first reported in 2015 that the Defense Health Agency the year before spent $84.2 million on erectile dysfunction medications for active-duty troops, eligible family members and retirees.
Moreover, the military health system had filled nearly 1.18 million prescriptions for erectile dysfunction medications since 2014 and spent a total of $294 million on those drugs since 2011.
Juxtaposing the costs of ED drugs with medical costs for transgender service members may not be an apples-to-apples comparison, but the numbers, at least, are hard.
