That is the reason men pay more for auto and life insurance because the numbers show that men die sooner and basically cost more...but when the same logic is applied to health insurance, it is somehow sexist because women are shown to cost more.  Auto insurance rates for men are based on their behaviors while driving. Women are women. They have vaginas and breasts. That isn't a behavior. But they are both based on outcomes. |

They were both based on outcomes before it was considered to be sexist for the same logic to be applied to women for health insurance, as is applied toward men for auto and life insurance. If women use more healthcare, it doesn't really matter the reason, it should not be considered sexist for them to pay more in that instance. |
