Spendable income not same for everyone

In response to Glenn E. Chatfield's May 6 letter, 'Birth control within everyone's budget”:
1. No, it really is not. It seems a consistent fact that many people of certain mindsets cannot or will not accept the fact that there is great difference in the amount of spendable income within the income categories of the working: super rich, rich, middle class, moderate class, barely hanging on by their fingernails class, working four jobs just to pay expenses class, poor and super poor.
2. Regarding that insurance package provided by employers. That one and same insurance company continues to pay for the Viagra of the gentlemen users.
3. It only stands to reason that the same insurance policy should pay to keep his Viagra from creating an unwanted or unable to afford pregnancy.
And, finally, please do not argue the age of Viagra users vs. pregnancies. Seems the need for Viagra, like birth control, crosses many age barriers.
