Being a woman is a pre-existing condition

I am number 3924 against discrimination by health insurers. Women deserve equal coverage for equal premiums

I'm guessing that even if men live shorter lives, they don't (whether for medical or sociological reasons) cost the insurer so much in health care.

I don't think this is an excuse. Logical doesn't equal moral.

I'd take a ticket except it wants a US five-digit zip code and I'm a New Zealander. I don't know if there's significant gender discrimination in New Zealand medical insurance, but as my medical insurance is about US$30 per month I'm not overly stressed about it....

4746. Grrr. Not that they ever want to cover most of my problems anyway, given that I have like five pre-existing conditions. My employer somehow makes them, for which I am devoutly grateful.
