Isn’t this is a rather selective campaign for equality? .
Men pay higher premiums than women for life insurance and car insurance, but feminists don’t care about that. Feminists do care about insurance companies charging women higher health insurance premiums though. So they want to ban it.
Which means men pay higher premiums to make up the difference. In the end, this selective equality just amounts to one more government-enforced subsidization by men of women.
Does it not?
Sasafras77, I refer you to the answer of Clockwork Apple.
Yes, insurance companies charge men more for car insurance based on various risk factors and cost predictions. Which is exactly how they calculate health insurance premiums. Women are charged more because they are more likely to use health services and more likely to use them often and extensively.
So why should women not pay market rates for health insurance like men pay market rates for car insurance?
Dark Eyes, Are you really arguing that men do not pay more for car insurance below a certain age? Gender is absolutely a factor, just as it is for life insurance. As for having the government review the criteria used by health insurance companies, why not also have a review of life insurance and car insurance premiums?
Oh, that’s right. I remember now. It’s not a "women’s issue."

Time to put my tin hat on and say it’s hard not to disagree with the article. I’m sure Labour Deputy Leader Harridin Hormone (or Harriet Harperson, take your pick) wouldn’t have much to say. It’s an American issue anyways, Insurance is equal over here, or at the very least no one has picked up on it yet.
