The Affordable Care Act prohibits charging based on gender. This provision kicks in on January 1, 2014.

Tangentially related, I've been wondering if that could affect current gender discrepancies in the entrepreneurial scene (prospect of paying 200-300% more for private health insurance than male counterparts makes it even harder to leave your day job). More female startup founders in 2014, maybe?
