I think it's because women are more careful than men.They take less risk therefore they will prefer to pay more and then get a better benefit in case of accident .

Hi,

Some insurance executives expressed surprise at the size and prevalence of the differences that can make hundreds of a woman's insurance cost per year over a man. Women's groups have expressed their defense concerns about the differences, and members of Congress have begun to question the justification for them.

The new findings, which are not easily explained, come amid anxiety about the declining economy. More and more people are shopping for different health insurance policies because they have lost jobs that provided coverage. Politicians from both parties have offered proposals to expand the role of the individual market, giving tax credits and other assistance to buy coverage on their own.
 
Women has to pay large amount of premiums for health insurance, it is because if she gets pregnant then chances of health issue are quite common, and that is the reason insurance companies offer higher rates.

Women is considered dependent no matter even if you are the Prime Minister of the country. And hence the premium charged is a bit on the higher side.
