I'm pretty sure men and women are now required to get the same rates for health insurance under ACA. How are they allowed to charge people differently based on age? Well, because there's no law against it. Age discrimination is illegal in employment and housing, but not in what you charge for insurance.

Prices for health plans on an ACA exchange can only vary based on age, family size, smoker status, and a geographical "community rating" that's designed to account for local cost of care. No other factors may affect pricing, and anyone who is willing to pay the price must be enrolled.
