How Much More Women Pay for Health Insurance

Some states permit insurance companies to offer maternity and women?s health as a separate policy rider. This is the case in NC, where the cheapest publicly available insurance for a young woman adding maternity coverage comes close to doubling the total premium. I am surprised they did not take this into account on their data, since it would lead to a lot more ?red states? ? of some strange shade of red or gray (I think that?s been covered well at this point).

Feels like one of those ?know your data? issues.

I am trying to leave the politics out of it, but for the ?men pay more in car insurance? folks out there, the last time I checked there is only one driver of a car. Maternity coverage implies the involvement of a guy at some point in time or another, but the health burden is entirely on the woman.
