In reply to the discussion: Should it be illegal or legal to charge women more than men for health insurance [View all]dsc
(52,162 posts)In a perfect world I think getting rid of women paying more would be fine, though I fail to see women asking for auto and life insurance companies to change their rates (that would help men btw). But the fact is getting rid of gender rating entirely is going to ding men significantly and then those same people have to turn around and pay higher rates when they age. I think at the very least, men who live in states that haven't expanded Medicaid and who have incomes in that range (and thus can't get subsidies) should not be forced to pay for maternity care (nor should women in that cohort if they can't have children and/or agree to refrain from having children). Otherwise many in that cohort will be forced to do without insurance entirely.
