BBC reports "German Greens float sex prescriptions for disabled":
A spokeswoman for the Green Party in Germany has said disabled and seriously ill people should be able to claim back public money if they pay for sex. They would have to prove a medical need and show that they could not pay to visit sex workers otherwise. Elisabeth Scharfenberg, an MP, told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper that she "could imagine" local authorities paying for "sexual assistance". Prostitution has been legal in Germany since 2002.
[...] In the Netherlands it is already possible to claim the cost of sexual services as a medical expense.
German source. Here's a related segment from Vice if you have 17m22s to spare (it's primarily about Sensual Solutions).

Couldn't they overcome that by trying to look at it as a "jobs creation" program?

They are not really interested in just creating jobs. That is merely a hook for the masses that is claimed whenever an opportunity for wealth consolidation arises.
