The finding is significant because the condition, a hardening or thickening of a tiny heart valve, ?is incredibly common among the elderly,? says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman.

"The legislatures are realizing that if you cover Viagra, you have to give equal coverage to birth control." But Viagra may be having an even greater impact than on just the gender-equity front. The male "before" pill is helping bring the message to otherwise healthy people that drug costs in general are going up dramatically.
