As far as I am concerned, this "guilty until proven innocent" attitude of the insurance companies is one of the worst kinds of sexism around, yet it is given the approving eye of society. Now this woman should win her suit and get her $1000 per month. It's wrong that they should do this kind of thing. At the same time they can make up the money by charging women the same as men for insurance!
