Hardball: Coburn Offers Amendment Denying Viagra Coverage to Sex Offenders
Trivial?
No, not really. Democrats will either be forced to vote against the measure-- compounding their public-image problem -- or accept it. And if they accept it, then they've changed the House bill, and there will be more voting in both houses of Congress, and more pain.
Democrats will probably attempt to defeat the amendment, though, and then schedule almost immediately a vote on a standalone bill to achieve the same thing.
