Gender Based Insurance rates
I linked an article on the title "Gender Based Insurance rates." This is the news article obviously about Insurance rates based on gender. Women pay more than men. I still do not understand why women need to pay more than men. If I go with traditional view of men and women, men are the one who work outside and higher risk of danger and women take care themselves better than men. Even if I don't think traditionally, science proves that men have higher risk of getting heart attack than women do. I do not know that how they calculate, but I believe it there should not be some difference BASED ON gender.

Well, think about it this way...
Women have the babies so they have those medical costs. Women also have more potential types of cancer then men. Women have many annual exams that can lead to expensive if they come out abnormal.
Although I do not believe those are good enough excuses...it is a long list. I guess that could be their argument.
I agree. I don't think there should be a difference in rates based on gender. Even if women do need a great deal more health care than men. It's amazing the things that come into play when talking about how men and women are treated differently.
