Women Should Pay More for Health Care
Article here. Excerpt:
'The Obama Administration is about to spend $684 million on a public relations and enrollment campaign to convince young, uninsured Americans to buy government-approved ObamaCare plans. In order to be successful, they need to convince young men in particular to enroll, but ObamaCare requires insurers to charge men the same for their premiums as women in 2014.
This attempt at fairness is anything but. If fairness were really the guiding principle it would be quite simple: Women would pay more for health insurance because women consume more health care.

People are uncomfortable in acknowledging sex differences in health care costs, but they should recognize that those same differences crop up in in other markets, too. It’s not discussed as frequently, but sometimes men are the ones paying more for certain purchases, like car insurance. Would it be fair to charge women more for it just to give men a discount?'
