It says it charges them higher rates for health insurance, not that it cuts them off or prevents them from leaving the relationship or getting help. The statistics are there, and women who are victims of domestic violence are more likely to incur injuries and hospital stays than women who aren't. It's a rating factor, same as age, weight, family history, and many other things. You can call be sarcastic and try to belittle me all you like, but it doesn't make you right, it just makes you seem like you can't come up with a valid argument.

Insurance has almost nothing to do with what you feel is right or wrong. It has to do with statistics, cold hard statistics, and if these statistics show that there is a higher risk associated with women who are victims of domestic violence, then the insurance companies are going to charge higher rates for them as long as they are allowed to. You seem to hold this belief that the insurance companies are doing this out of malice or something, which is just plain silly. I suppose one could make the argument that they are simply doing it to turn a profit. My reply to that is...duh. I'll say it again. They are a business, and they are there to make money, ignoring something that is a real risk factor when determining how much someone should pay for insurance would be foolish of the insurance companies.
