Free Viagara for Sex Offenders

Yet another reason we face rising health care costs. According to the NY Sun, rapists and other sex offenders have been getting free Viagara, thanks to Medicaid.

According to the [NY] state comptroller, Alan Hevesi, who announced the finding yesterday, 198 Level 3 sex offenders in the state, who have been convicted of such crimes as child molestation and rape, had Viagra prescriptions subsidized by the state between January 2000 and March 2005.

Does this strike anyone in the government as outrageous?
