Right now, being a woman is considered a "pre-existing condition." In fact, insurance companies are charging women up to 50 percent more than men for the same coverage.

How many times have you heard Republicans say this is outrageous? Zero. And how many times have you heard them vow to repeal the Affordable Care Act? I've lost track.

The Affordable Care Act will close the insurance gender gap once and for all. Beginning in 2014, it will be illegal for health insurers to charge women more than men for the same coverage.

Insurers charge higher premiums for women simply because they're women -- and more likely to visit doctors and have certain illnesses.

Under a Republican president, a 30-year-old woman in Chicago with a popular health plan would continue to pay 31 percent more than her male counterpart. In Kentucky, a 40-year-old woman would still be charged 53 percent more than a man for her insurance.

The New York Observer quote from Ann Coulter: "If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least."

Any woman who votes Republican has to be out of her mind.
