Have you ever been denied health insurance coverage because you are a woman?

I was watching Nancy Pelosi make the final argument for health-care reform when she said something like, "People will no longer be denied coverage for the precondition of being a woman." I'm just wondering if this has really happened to you or someone you know.

If a woman is the victim of domestic violence, has had a Cesarean or even has been pregnant, it is usually considered a preexisting condition. Women are charged more than men for the same coverage. Insurance companies in most states are allowed to charge a business more for coverage if it employs women.
