Sadly, most right wing men will just say that they'd never be interested in humping a poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks in the first place. They and their women have doctors -- everyone else can get one too.
My personal feeling is that the entirety of the country should get the first 500$ of medical treatment without paying so much as a nickle. Past that, you either have to have insurance or you pay out of pocket. As the socialite circuits found out in 1918, deadly diseases kill the rich and the poor alike, but its the poor spread it far and wide. Death is the ultimate equalizer after all. And if the rich are so short sighted that they sign their own death certificates by not caring what happens to the poor, then they deserve their fate.
Yep. Whether you're talking about viruses or bacteria, germs don't care who you are or how rich you are. For those who think that they're immune because they have good healthcare, I have one bit of advice: Don't get exposed to any drug-resistant organisms. Ever.
The trouble with the Lysistrata option is that it only works if (a) all women are on the same side, AND (b) the men care about whether or not a woman consents to sex.
Point (b) can be considered moot for the sake of this argument, as a swift glance through the comments to this video -- which was all I could stomach -- demonstrates pretty effectively that (a) isn't the case.
