Finally a Long Overdue Health Insurance Fix

Tweet

Did you know that because you’re female, insurance companies have been able to charge more for your health insurance premiums than they charge for a guy getting the exact same coverage? It sounds like something that should have been outlawed in the 1960s. But it’s long been true in most states. The rationale: Because women rely on health care more than men do (for yearly gyno visits, for example), making us shell out more was justified.

The good news is, this practice has just been made illegal by the new health insurance bill. While other parts of the bill take months or even years to go into effect, this provision applies immediately. You may not notice the difference if you have group coverage via your job (since many companies even out the gender imbalance to avoid being charged with discrimination). But if you pay for your own insurance, you should start seeing a difference
