This is just one more inequity that was fixed by the passage of Obamacare. Currently, private insurance companies charge women higher premiums for the same insurance as men in most states (as though their sex was a pre-existing condition).

Obamacare is far from perfect, but it did a lot that needed to be done -- and gender fairness in insurance pricing is one of those things.
