A self-employed 30-year-old woman living in midtown Sacramento could pay as much as $420 a year more for individual health insurance than a man – and the California Legislature is debating whether that''s fair.
The gender gap, known as "gender rating" by the insurance industry, recently has gained renewed attention. Last week, the insurance industry said it was willing to drop gender pricing – but only if the government requires every U.S. resident to obtain health insurance as part of a comprehensive health care overhaul.

Gender experiment was itinresetng. Not that I did anything *too* drastic, but not many people noticed that I was dressed differently at all. What was most surprising was that my mom told me that I should alter my dress to make it look like a dress we saw on TV! Interesting to see the effect that the media has on the way we expect others to dress.
