Opinion Piece Stumps for Bills To Halt Gender Rating

In an opinion piece, Philip Diamond -- vice chair of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, District IX -- argues in favor of two bills in the Assembly and Senate that would halt gender rating among health insurers. He writes, "Gender rating hurts women and can put affordable coverage completely out of their grasp," adding, "Besides harming women and their families, gender rating hurts society as a whole."
