Patently false. Old people currently have high premiums. Women have higher premiums than men. Soon insurance companies will no longer be able to discriminate prices that way; there's an upper limit to the factor difference there can be between my premium and an 60 year old woman's. Since the cost of insuring me right now is very very low, it will have to go up to subsidize the expensive health insurance of those people.

Most people have higher premiums that what their healthcare would actually cost. Or at least in a more efficient system, they should. This is not something you can complain about. I suggest you educate yourself on how health insurance (or any insurance, for that matter) works before continuing this conversation.
