Because of biology? Other female primates (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, etc) also live longer than males.

I don't understand your argument. Just because women live longer on average, they're supposed to live in pain without treatment?

My argument is that if there was a significant bias against them then that gap would not exist or be much smaller.

In reality they get about 7 times the allocated health expenditure that males get.
