When it comes to the must screwed up state in the union, California usually wins in every category. But in this case, New York takes the case. Taxpayers in New York are not only funding erectile dysfunction drugs but also other sexual treatments for sex offenders. This is what liberalism looks like and apparently New Yorkers are either too clueless or don’t care to do anything about it.

Registered sex offenders in New York received $63,000 worth of erectile dysfunction drugs and other sexual treatments courtesy of the state’s publicly funded Medicaid program, according to an audit released Wednesday.
Federal rules bar Medicaid coverage of sexual treatments for all recipients, not just sex offenders. Yet state Medicaid officials approved $930,000 in improper payments for the drugs between 2012 and 2018, according to the audit released by state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and first reported by The Associated Press.
According to the audit, 47 of those Medicaid recipients were also state sex offenders, who are prohibited from getting Medicaid-covered sexual treatments under a state law.
