  • Pre-Eexisting Conditions: Having pre-existing conditions will result in a higher health insurance premium, as these illnesses raise the possibility of developing additional diseases.
  • Medical History: The cost of good health insurance for women might be a bit higher for those with a history of specific medical conditions compared to women who don’t have any significant medical history.
  • Lifestyle Habits: Poor lifestyle habits like smoking and alcohol use are closely monitored when women buy health insurance. These behaviours increase the risks of heart, liver, and respiratory diseases, making approval difficult and coverage limited.
