Why aren't we charging antivaxers a premium for health insurance?

You don't see it? Do you honestly think statistics and actuarial science cares what you think? Fact is that women cost a multiple times in health care than men. Fact. And it's not because of childbearing. You evaded my question: if you think that every genetic factor, including gender, shall be treated equally, basically everything from birth why don't you make everyone around you "whole" who was not born into the same fortunes and with the same privileges as you? Until then it's just talk of someone who is pointing fingers but not invested himself.
nice sources you got with your assertions
 
Why aren't we confining Trump Deranged Syndrome, extreme liberal ET trolls to any asylum so that, they are not a danger to themselves and others? Shouldn't filthy rich Socialist and Communist Democrat politicians pay double in taxes since, they help create laws that raise taxes on the middle class for all their freebie social programs? All those tax increase should come out of their pockets. We all know how extreme liberals love to mouth off how they love to pay more in taxes so, let us give them what they want?
 
You can easily Google the facts. I looked them up. 50-270% higher Healthcare cost for women.
you seemed to be so sure of yourself I thought you had solid sources to back up all that talk.

On 1st glance i'm only seeing 30-40% higher due to child rearing costs
 
Health insurance
Affordable Care Act–compliant plans sold through the state exchanges and the federal marketplace can’t use gender as a factor in setting premiums.18 However, short-term health insurance plans can and often do charge women significantly higher premiums than men.19


Is this discrepancy justified? An issue brief from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), an insurance industry advocacy group, says that women’s medical costs during childbearing years are more than 45% higher than those for men of the same age, and the difference can be as much as 270%, including maternity costs. The difference decreases with age, and men become more expensive users of healthcare by their mid-50s.20

I find the circumstances you're born with or your genetics separate issue than poor choices leading to bad health (like being a fat fuck, smoking, or being an antivaxxer) which is why I called your analogy stupid. I'm taking the "libertarian" approach to healthcare cons seem to love here, in reality we should just have universal medicare. I don't see how men "subsidize" the higher healthcare of women (not accounting for childbirth which should be split cost), they seem to be employed about equal now a days.

And yes, we probably should tack on that premium 2-3 yrs from now.

so you want women to carry the baby burden solo Mr. Asian family values? How many kids you run out on?
 
B1S2, it's not the same thing. When you were a kid, didn't you have a vax card from your doctor, showing MMR, small pox and all the other vax bits at the time? We had to have that to be able to attend school. *shrugs* It didn't affect our sensibilities. We had it, and were able to go to school. It was better than being DEAD.

No, I made a point that genetic conditions at birth do matter and impact real life and the burden that the entire society carries. So again, if you believe that everyone who seems to be predispositioned from birth then why don't you start and make the first move and care for all those. But don't ask everyone else to join your political leaning while you don't walk the talk.
