You can say that twice

Glad I'm up here in Canada

That it is

There’s a reason we have so many foreign doctors. They’ll come to America because our doctors get paid more than any other country.

It’s crazy. Medicine shouldn’t be _this_ much of a business.

It shouldn’t be a privilege. Seriously $250+ for a bag of saline

That’s hot

Saline. Salt water.

I want pizza

Lol ok. Just thinking about pizza gives me high blood pressure. That sweet sweet testosterone

I need more testosterone

Can’t have mine!

That's not the point. People are individuals, just because other people have more accidents doesn't mean one sex should have to pay more than the other. In what other area is this ok? Women use medical services more than men, does this mean that they should be charged more for insurance or taxed more for national healthcare? They clearly aren't, so why is a man forced to pay for others when it comes to car insurance?

Oops, there were more messages I didn't read. Still, what I said is valid

That’s what I’m sayin’

Yeah, it's me and Jango that's written to

'cause we were defending the insurance practice

I would assume it’s because men tend to be more extreme in their use of resources. Women use medical services where they aren’t always necessary, meaning it could be treated at home. Men tend to go to the hospital when there’s rebar through their chest.

Y’know, because mean are taught to “man up” when they get hurt

They won’t seek help unless it’s very necessary.

I think you can no longer discriminate on the UK for car insurance but I might be wrong. @SilasPsy

It may have just been a thing about a company called Sheila's Wheels that tried to give out cheap insurance to only women.

They may have just got in trouble over the latter

Men still pay more for car insurance

Righto

Ooo I see. But considering men drive more and rates are calculated off of that as well it may just be that

Doesn't matter if men drive more. Doesn't say anything about how often a particular person drives. Some women drive more, why shouldn't those particular women be charged more?

They are probably

It's an average remember

No, they aren't

It's fair to charge all people as an average, it isn't to charge one sex more

Indeed

But just because you remove sex from the equation didn't mean that on average men still won't pay more due to other factors like "commuting" which bumps it up and "miles driven"

It's just the wage gap thing again

In the USA is different

I've not looked at the actual calculation used so if I'm wrong I'm happy to be

On average men will pay more sure, but average miles are not the problem and not anything anyone is arguing about. Simply changed the sex on your insurance application from female to male will result in thousands increase

Really? I pay like £300 including breakdown coverage. For the year

I may be exaggerating the cost then, obviously depends what car you have and such (the more it's worth the more the increase will be etc)

The rest stands

Reading the article

""For motor insurance, factors such as the type of car, number of miles driven, driving record and claims experience will all impact on the cost of cover," he explained. "Men and women are likely to drive different types of vehicle, do different mileage, and these variations, not gender pricing, will reflect in premiums."

Like I said it looks like a wage gap comparison. Men just drive more under more risky conditions
