Go ahead and keep voting for demons, NY.

The New York state Medicaid system was found to have improperly shelled out nearly a million dollars for the treatment of erectile dysfunction over a six-year period, with more than $60,000 going toward registered sex offenders who are barred from such benefits.

The numbers came from a state audit, as reported by the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. The audit states that between April 1, 2012, and July 1, 2018, the state improperly paid $933,594 for "drugs, procedures, and supplies to treat ED," even though state and federal laws prohibit Medicaid payments for ED treatments like Viagra.
