In dicussing the behaviour of insurance companies, it's important to keep
one thing in mind: Insurance companies are out to make money.  Whether you
approve of this or not is irrelevant; their stated aim is to be profitable.
They do this by setting their rates (as far as possible) to be attractive
to everyone.  This includes men and women of all ages and races; the 
life insurance companies have nothing to gain through discrimination, and
in fact have potential customers to lose.  Assuming (as several netters
have) that there is bias *on the part of the insurace company* is false;
they're just out to turn a buck, and don't really give two hoots where it
comes from.
