This issue is new to me. I was unaware of some issues mentioned in this article. This article describes that only 14 states ban this gender rating approach used in health insurance. It stated that 92% of top insurance plans charge women more then men. Throughout the article, some issues that seem to be denying women who have survived domestic violence or have had C-sections when giving birth. It also addresses effect of the Affordable Care Act and what that can offer for women nationwide. The program seems to help women in beneficial and preventative measures for the betterment of their health.
Shockingly enough, I only turned to this article because I wanted to see what was being discussed. I was stunned to see the issues going on that could affect me if I had a child or was a victim of domestic violence. I had no idea. The worst thing is, that states have been publicized for doing this and have not banned gender rating.
