Let's be honest here: it's about children. The only difference between men and women that would substantially effect insurance coverage rates are prenatal care and birth.

But few men are willing to come out and plainly state that they aren't interested in subsidizing prenatal care. When you say it aloud it just sounds so obviously wrong, whether or not you're asexual, homosexual, or infertile. And it's especially hypocritical for the anti-abortion set.

It's like the argument that childless property taxpayers shouldn't have to subsidize public schools. People just rely on vague handwaving about fairness and risk allocation. And, FWIW, it's also like arguing that taxes paid by pacifists shouldn't support the military. Even most liberals understand that it's a ridiculous assertion as a practical matter.
