Understanding these strategies is important because patients — through taxes, cash payments and insurance premiums — are the ones funding the entire health care system. Yet the industry's bewildering web of strategies and inside deals often has little to do with patients' needs. As the series' \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/why-your-health-insurer-does-not-care-about-your-big-bills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first story\u003c/a> showed, contrary to popular belief, lower bills aren't health insurers' top priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the San Diego Convention Center, there were few qualms about the way insurance companies were mining Americans' lives for information — or what they planned to do with the data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Linking Health Costs to Personal Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sprawling convention center was a balmy draw for one of America's Health Insurance Plans' marquee gatherings. Insurance executives and managers wandered through the exhibit hall, sampling chocolate-covered strawberries, champagne and other delectables designed to encourage deal-making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up front, the prime real estate belonged to the big guns in health data: The booths of Optum, IBM Watson Health and LexisNexis stretched toward the ceiling, with flat-screen monitors and some comfy seating. (NPR collaborates with IBM Watson Health on national polls about consumer health topics.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To understand the scope of what they were offering, consider Optum. The company, owned by the massive UnitedHealth Group, has collected the medical diagnoses, tests, prescriptions, costs and socioeconomic data of 150 million Americans going back to 1993, according to its marketing materials.(UnitedHealth Group provides financial support to NPR.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company says it uses the information to link patients' medical outcomes and costs to details like their level of education, net worth, family structure and race. An Optum spokesman said the socioeconomic data is de-identified and is not used for pricing health plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Optum's marketing materials also boast that it now has access to even more. In 2016, the company filed a patent application to gather what people share on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and to link this material to the person's clinical and payment information. A company spokesman said in an email that the patent application never went anywhere. But the company's current marketing materials say it combines claims and clinical information with social media interactions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had a lot of questions about this and first reached out to Optum in May, but the company didn't connect me with any of its experts as promised. At the conference, Optum salespeople said they weren't allowed to talk to me about how the company uses this information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn't hard to understand the appeal of all this data to insurers. Merging information from data brokers with people's clinical and payment records is a no-brainer if you overlook potential patient concerns. Electronic medical records now make it easy for insurers to analyze massive amounts of information and combine it with the personal details scooped up by data brokers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also makes sense given the shifts in how providers are getting paid. Doctors and hospitals have typically been paid based on the quantity of care they provide. But the industry is moving toward paying them in lump sums for caring for a patient, or for an event, like a knee surgery. In those cases, the medical providers can profit more when patients stay healthy. More money at stake means more interest in the social factors that might affect a patient's health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some insurance companies are already using socioeconomic data to help patients get appropriate care, such as programs to help patients with chronic diseases stay healthy. Studies show social and economic aspects of people's lives play an important role in their health. Knowing these personal details can help them identify those who may need help paying for medication or help getting to the doctor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But patient advocates are skeptical that health insurers have altruistic designs on people's personal information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry has a history of boosting profits by signing up healthy people and finding ways to avoid sick people — called \"cherry-picking\" and \"lemon-dropping,\" experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the classic examples: A company was accused of putting its enrollment office on the third floor of a building without an elevator, so only healthy patients could make the trek to sign up. Another tried to appeal to spry seniors by holding square dances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Affordable Care Act prohibits insurers from denying people coverage based on pre-existing health conditions or charging sick people more for individual or small group plans. But experts said patients' personal information could still be used for marketing, and to assess risks and determine the prices of certain plans. And the Trump administration is promoting short-term health plans, which do allow insurers to deny coverage to sick patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Greenwald, faculty director of Harvard Law School's Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, said insurance companies still cherry-pick, but now they're subtler. The center analyzes health insurance plans to see if they discriminate. He said insurers will do things like failing to include enough information about which drugs a plan covers, which pushes sick people who need specific medications elsewhere. Or they may change the things a plan covers, or how much a patient has to pay for a type of care, after a patient has enrolled. Or, Greenwald added, they might exclude or limit certain types of providers from their networks — like those who have skill caring for patients with HIV or hepatitis C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there were concerns that personal data might be used to cherry-pick or lemon-drop, they weren't raised at the conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the IBM Watson Health booth, Kevin Ruane, a senior consulting scientist, told me that the company surveys 80,000 Americans a year to assess lifestyle, attitudes and behaviors that could relate to health care. Participants are asked whether they trust their doctor, have financial problems, go online, or own a Fitbit and similar questions. The responses of hundreds of adjacent households are analyzed together to identify social and economic factors for an area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruane said he has used IBM Watson Health's socioeconomic analysis to help insurance companies assess a potential market. The ACA increased the value of such assessments, experts say, because companies often don't know the medical history of people seeking coverage. A region with too many sick people, or with patients who don't take care of themselves, might not be worth the risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruane acknowledged that the information his company gathers may not be accurate for every person. \"We talk to our clients and tell them to be careful about this,\" he said. \"Use it as a data insight. But it's not necessarily a fact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate conversation, a salesman from a different company joked about the potential for error. \"God forbid you live on the wrong street these days,\" he said. \"You're going to get lumped in with a lot of bad things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LexisNexis booth was emblazoned with the slogan \"Data. Insight. Action.\" The company said it uses 442 nonmedical personal attributes to predict a person's medical costs. Its cache includes more than 78 billion records from more than 10,000 public and proprietary sources, including people's cellphone numbers, criminal records, bankruptcies, property records, neighborhood safety and more. The information is used to predict patients' health risks and costs in eight areas, including how often they are likely to visit emergency rooms, their total cost, their pharmacy costs, their motivation to stay healthy and their stress levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People who downsize their homes tend to have higher health care costs, the company says. As do those whose parents didn't finish high school. Patients who own more valuable homes are less likely to land back in the hospital within 30 days of their discharge. The company says it has validated its scores against insurance claims and clinical data. But it won't share its methods and hasn't published the work in peer-reviewed journals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCulley, LexisNexis' director of strategic solutions, said predictions made by the algorithms about patients are based on the combination of the personal attributes. He gave a hypothetical example: A high school dropout who had a recent income loss and doesn't have a relative nearby might have higher-than-expected health costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But couldn't that same type of person be healthy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sure,\" McCulley said, with no apparent dismay at the possibility that the predictions could be wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCulley and others at LexisNexis insist the scores are only used to help patients get the care they need and not to determine how much someone would pay for their health insurance. The company cited three different federal laws that restricted them and their clients from using the scores in that way. But privacy experts said none of the laws cited by the company bar the practice. The company backed off the assertions when I pointed that the laws did not seem to apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LexisNexis officials also said the company's contracts expressly prohibit using the analysis to help price insurance plans. They would not provide a contract. But I knew that in at least one instance a company was already testing whether the scores could be used as a pricing tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the conference, I'd seen a press release announcing that the largest health actuarial firm in the world, Milliman, was now using the LexisNexis scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I tracked down Marcos Dachary, who works in business development for Milliman. Actuaries calculate health care risks and help set the price of premiums for insurers. I asked Dachary if Milliman was using the LexisNexis scores to price health plans and he said: \"There could be an opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scores could allow an insurance company to assess the risks posed by individual patients and make adjustments to protect themselves from losses, he said. For example, he said, the company could raise premiums or revise contracts with providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's too early to tell whether the LexisNexis scores will actually be useful for pricing, he said. But he was excited about the possibilities. \"One thing about social determinants data – it piques your mind,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dachary acknowledged the scores could also be used to discriminate. Others, he said, have raised that concern. As much as there could be positive potential, he said, \"there could also be negative potential.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Erroneous Inferences From Group Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's that negative potential that still bothers data analyst Erin Kaufman, who left the health insurance industry in January. The 35-year-old from Atlanta had earned her doctorate in public health because she wanted to help people, but one day at Aetna, her boss told her to work with a new data set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To her surprise, the company had obtained personal information from a data broker on millions of Americans. The data contained each person's habits and hobbies, like whether they owned a gun, and if so, what type, she said. It included whether they had magazine subscriptions, liked to ride bikes or run marathons. It had hundreds of personal details about each person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Aetna data team merged the data with the information it had on patients it insured. The goal was to see how people's personal interests and hobbies might relate to their health care costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kaufman said it felt wrong: The information about the people who knitted or crocheted made her think of her grandmother. And the details about individuals who liked camping made her think of herself. What business did the insurance company have looking at this information? \"It was a data set that really dug into our clients' lives,\" she said. \"No one gave anyone permission to do this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4600083-Aetna-Statement.html\">In a statement\u003c/a>, Aetna said it uses consumer marketing information to supplement its claims and clinical information. The combined data helps predict the risk of repeat emergency room visits or hospital admissions. The information is used to reach out to members and help them and plays no role in pricing plans or underwriting, the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaufman said she had concerns about the accuracy of drawing inferences about an individual's health from an analysis of a group of people with similar traits. Health scores generated from arrest records, homeownership and similar material may be wrong, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pam Dixon, executive director of the World Privacy Forum, a nonprofit that advocates for privacy in the digital age, shares Kaufman's concerns. She points to a study by the analytics company SAS, which worked in 2012 with an unnamed major health insurance company to predict a person's health care costs using 1,500 data elements, including the investments and types of cars people owned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SAS study said higher health care costs could be predicted by looking at things like ethnicity, watching TV and mail-order purchases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find that enormously offensive as a list,\" Dixon said. \"This is not health data. This is inferred data.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data scientist Cathy O'Neil said drawing conclusions about health risks on such data could lead to a bias against some poor people. It would be easy to infer they are prone to costly illnesses based on their backgrounds and living conditions, said O'Neil, author of the book \u003cem>Weapons of Math Destruction,\u003c/em> which looked at how algorithms can increase inequality. That could lead to poor people being charged more, making it harder for them to get the care they need, she said. Employers, she said, could even decide not to hire people with data points that could indicate high medical costs in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Neil said the companies should also measure how the scores might discriminate against the poor, sick or minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American policymakers could do more to protect people's information, experts said. In the United States, companies can harvest personal data unless a specific law bans it, although California just passed legislation that could create restrictions, said William McGeveran, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School. Europe, in contrast, passed a strict law called the \u003ca href=\"https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-does-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr-govern_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Data Protection Regulation\u003c/a>, which went into effect in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Europe, data protection is a constitutional right,\" McGeveran said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pasquale, the University of Maryland law professor, said health scores should be treated like credit scores. Federal law gives people the right to know their credit scores and how they're calculated. If people are going to be rated by whether they listen to sad songs on Spotify or look up information about AIDS online, they should know, Pasquale said. \"The risk of improper use is extremely high,\" he said. \"And data scores are not properly vetted and validated and available for scrutiny.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Creepy Walk Down Memory Lane \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I reported this story I wondered how the data vendors might be using my personal information to score my potential health costs. So, I filled out \u003ca href=\"https://personalreports.lexisnexis.com/access_your_full_file_disclosure.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a request on the LexisNexis website\u003c/a> for the company to send me some of the personal information it has on me. A week later, a somewhat creepy, 182-page walk down memory lane arrived in the mail. Federal law only requires the company to provide a subset of the information it collected about me. So that's all I got.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LexisNexis had captured details about my life going back 25 years, many that I'd forgotten. It had my phone numbers going back decades and my home addresses going back to my childhood in Golden, Colo. Each location had a field to show whether the address was \"high risk.\" Mine were all blank. The company also collects records of any liens and criminal activity, which, thankfully, I didn't have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My report was boring, which isn't a surprise. I've lived a middle-class life and grown up in good neighborhoods. But it made me wonder: What if I had lived in \"high-risk\" neighborhoods? Could that ever be used by insurers to jack up my rates — or to avoid me altogether?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wanted to see more. If LexisNexis had health risk scores on me, I wanted to see how they were calculated and, more importantly, whether they were accurate. But the company told me that if it had calculated my scores it would have done so on behalf of its client, my insurance company. So, I couldn't have them.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>ProPublica Senior Research Fellow Claire Perlman contributed to this story. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom based in New York.

Such questions would be moot in Europe, where a strict law took effect in May that bans trading in personal data.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/series/the-health-insurance-hustle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ProPublica and NPR are investigating\u003c/a> the various tactics the health insurance industry uses to maximize its profits. Understanding these strategies is important because patients — through taxes, cash payments and insurance premiums — are the ones funding the entire health care system. Yet the industry's bewildering web of strategies and inside deals often has little to do with patients' needs. As the series' \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/why-your-health-insurer-does-not-care-about-your-big-bills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first story\u003c/a> showed, contrary to popular belief, lower bills aren't health insurers' top priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the San Diego Convention Center, there were few qualms about the way insurance companies were mining Americans' lives for information — or what they planned to do with the data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Linking Health Costs to Personal Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sprawling convention center was a balmy draw for one of America's Health Insurance Plans' marquee gatherings. Insurance executives and managers wandered through the exhibit hall, sampling chocolate-covered strawberries, champagne and other delectables designed to encourage deal-making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up front, the prime real estate belonged to the big guns in health data: The booths of Optum, IBM Watson Health and LexisNexis stretched toward the ceiling, with flat-screen monitors and some comfy seating. (NPR collaborates with IBM Watson Health on national polls about consumer health topics.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To understand the scope of what they were offering, consider Optum. The company, owned by the massive UnitedHealth Group, has collected the medical diagnoses, tests, prescriptions, costs and socioeconomic data of 150 million Americans going back to 1993, according to its marketing materials.(UnitedHealth Group provides financial support to NPR.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company says it uses the information to link patients' medical outcomes and costs to details like their level of education, net worth, family structure and race. An Optum spokesman said the socioeconomic data is de-identified and is not used for pricing health plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Optum's marketing materials also boast that it now has access to even more. In 2016, the company filed a patent application to gather what people share on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and to link this material to the person's clinical and payment information. A company spokesman said in an email that the patent application never went anywhere. But the company's current marketing materials say it combines claims and clinical information with social media interactions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had a lot of questions about this and first reached out to Optum in May, but the company didn't connect me with any of its experts as promised. At the conference, Optum salespeople said they weren't allowed to talk to me about how the company uses this information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn't hard to understand the appeal of all this data to insurers. Merging information from data brokers with people's clinical and payment records is a no-brainer if you overlook potential patient concerns. Electronic medical records now make it easy for insurers to analyze massive amounts of information and combine it with the personal details scooped up by data brokers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also makes sense given the shifts in how providers are getting paid. Doctors and hospitals have typically been paid based on the quantity of care they provide. But the industry is moving toward paying them in lump sums for caring for a patient, or for an event, like a knee surgery. In those cases, the medical providers can profit more when patients stay healthy. More money at stake means more interest in the social factors that might affect a patient's health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some insurance companies are already using socioeconomic data to help patients get appropriate care, such as programs to help patients with chronic diseases stay healthy. Studies show social and economic aspects of people's lives play an important role in their health. Knowing these personal details can help them identify those who may need help paying for medication or help getting to the doctor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But patient advocates are skeptical that health insurers have altruistic designs on people's personal information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry has a history of boosting profits by signing up healthy people and finding ways to avoid sick people — called \"cherry-picking\" and \"lemon-dropping,\" experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the classic examples: A company was accused of putting its enrollment office on the third floor of a building without an elevator, so only healthy patients could make the trek to sign up. Another tried to appeal to spry seniors by holding square dances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Affordable Care Act prohibits insurers from denying people coverage based on pre-existing health conditions or charging sick people more for individual or small group plans. But experts said patients' personal information could still be used for marketing, and to assess risks and determine the prices of certain plans. And the Trump administration is promoting short-term health plans, which do allow insurers to deny coverage to sick patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Greenwald, faculty director of Harvard Law School's Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, said insurance companies still cherry-pick, but now they're subtler. The center analyzes health insurance plans to see if they discriminate. He said insurers will do things like failing to include enough information about which drugs a plan covers, which pushes sick people who need specific medications elsewhere. Or they may change the things a plan covers, or how much a patient has to pay for a type of care, after a patient has enrolled. Or, Greenwald added, they might exclude or limit certain types of providers from their networks — like those who have skill caring for patients with HIV or hepatitis C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there were concerns that personal data might be used to cherry-pick or lemon-drop, they weren't raised at the conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the IBM Watson Health booth, Kevin Ruane, a senior consulting scientist, told me that the company surveys 80,000 Americans a year to assess lifestyle, attitudes and behaviors that could relate to health care. Participants are asked whether they trust their doctor, have financial problems, go online, or own a Fitbit and similar questions. The responses of hundreds of adjacent households are analyzed together to identify social and economic factors for an area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruane said he has used IBM Watson Health's socioeconomic analysis to help insurance companies assess a potential market. The ACA increased the value of such assessments, experts say, because companies often don't know the medical history of people seeking coverage. A region with too many sick people, or with patients who don't take care of themselves, might not be worth the risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruane acknowledged that the information his company gathers may not be accurate for every person. \"We talk to our clients and tell them to be careful about this,\" he said. \"Use it as a data insight. But it's not necessarily a fact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate conversation, a salesman from a different company joked about the potential for error. \"God forbid you live on the wrong street these days,\" he said. \"You're going to get lumped in with a lot of bad things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LexisNexis booth was emblazoned with the slogan \"Data. Insight. Action.\" The company said it uses 442 nonmedical personal attributes to predict a person's medical costs. Its cache includes more than 78 billion records from more than 10,000 public and proprietary sources, including people's cellphone numbers, criminal records, bankruptcies, property records, neighborhood safety and more. The information is used to predict patients' health risks and costs in eight areas, including how often they are likely to visit emergency rooms, their total cost, their pharmacy costs, their motivation to stay healthy and their stress levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People who downsize their homes tend to have higher health care costs, the company says. As do those whose parents didn't finish high school. Patients who own more valuable homes are less likely to land back in the hospital within 30 days of their discharge. The company says it has validated its scores against insurance claims and clinical data. But it won't share its methods and hasn't published the work in peer-reviewed journals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCulley, LexisNexis' director of strategic solutions, said predictions made by the algorithms about patients are based on the combination of the personal attributes. He gave a hypothetical example: A high school dropout who had a recent income loss and doesn't have a relative nearby might have higher-than-expected health costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But couldn't that same type of person be healthy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sure,\" McCulley said, with no apparent dismay at the possibility that the predictions could be wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCulley and others at LexisNexis insist the scores are only used to help patients get the care they need and not to determine how much someone would pay for their health insurance. The company cited three different federal laws that restricted them and their clients from using the scores in that way. But privacy experts said none of the laws cited by the company bar the practice. The company backed off the assertions when I pointed that the laws did not seem to apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LexisNexis officials also said the company's contracts expressly prohibit using the analysis to help price insurance plans. They would not provide a contract. But I knew that in at least one instance a company was already testing whether the scores could be used as a pricing tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the conference, I'd seen a press release announcing that the largest health actuarial firm in the world, Milliman, was now using the LexisNexis scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I tracked down Marcos Dachary, who works in business development for Milliman. Actuaries calculate health care risks and help set the price of premiums for insurers. I asked Dachary if Milliman was using the LexisNexis scores to price health plans and he said: \"There could be an opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scores could allow an insurance company to assess the risks posed by individual patients and make adjustments to protect themselves from losses, he said. For example, he said, the company could raise premiums or revise contracts with providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's too early to tell whether the LexisNexis scores will actually be useful for pricing, he said. But he was excited about the possibilities. \"One thing about social determinants data – it piques your mind,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dachary acknowledged the scores could also be used to discriminate. Others, he said, have raised that concern. As much as there could be positive potential, he said, \"there could also be negative potential.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Erroneous Inferences From Group Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's that negative potential that still bothers data analyst Erin Kaufman, who left the health insurance industry in January. The 35-year-old from Atlanta had earned her doctorate in public health because she wanted to help people, but one day at Aetna, her boss told her to work with a new data set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To her surprise, the company had obtained personal information from a data broker on millions of Americans. The data contained each person's habits and hobbies, like whether they owned a gun, and if so, what type, she said. It included whether they had magazine subscriptions, liked to ride bikes or run marathons. It had hundreds of personal details about each person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Aetna data team merged the data with the information it had on patients it insured. The goal was to see how people's personal interests and hobbies might relate to their health care costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kaufman said it felt wrong: The information about the people who knitted or crocheted made her think of her grandmother. And the details about individuals who liked camping made her think of herself. What business did the insurance company have looking at this information? \"It was a data set that really dug into our clients' lives,\" she said. \"No one gave anyone permission to do this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4600083-Aetna-Statement.html\">In a statement\u003c/a>, Aetna said it uses consumer marketing information to supplement its claims and clinical information. The combined data helps predict the risk of repeat emergency room visits or hospital admissions. The information is used to reach out to members and help them and plays no role in pricing plans or underwriting, the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaufman said she had concerns about the accuracy of drawing inferences about an individual's health from an analysis of a group of people with similar traits. Health scores generated from arrest records, homeownership and similar material may be wrong, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pam Dixon, executive director of the World Privacy Forum, a nonprofit that advocates for privacy in the digital age, shares Kaufman's concerns. She points to a study by the analytics company SAS, which worked in 2012 with an unnamed major health insurance company to predict a person's health care costs using 1,500 data elements, including the investments and types of cars people owned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SAS study said higher health care costs could be predicted by looking at things like ethnicity, watching TV and mail-order purchases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find that enormously offensive as a list,\" Dixon said. \"This is not health data. This is inferred data.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data scientist Cathy O'Neil said drawing conclusions about health risks on such data could lead to a bias against some poor people. It would be easy to infer they are prone to costly illnesses based on their backgrounds and living conditions, said O'Neil, author of the book \u003cem>Weapons of Math Destruction,\u003c/em> which looked at how algorithms can increase inequality. That could lead to poor people being charged more, making it harder for them to get the care they need, she said. Employers, she said, could even decide not to hire people with data points that could indicate high medical costs in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Neil said the companies should also measure how the scores might discriminate against the poor, sick or minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American policymakers could do more to protect people's information, experts said. In the United States, companies can harvest personal data unless a specific law bans it, although California just passed legislation that could create restrictions, said William McGeveran, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School. Europe, in contrast, passed a strict law called the \u003ca href=\"https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-does-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr-govern_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Data Protection Regulation\u003c/a>, which went into effect in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Europe, data protection is a constitutional right,\" McGeveran said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pasquale, the University of Maryland law professor, said health scores should be treated like credit scores. Federal law gives people the right to know their credit scores and how they're calculated. If people are going to be rated by whether they listen to sad songs on Spotify or look up information about AIDS online, they should know, Pasquale said. \"The risk of improper use is extremely high,\" he said. \"And data scores are not properly vetted and validated and available for scrutiny.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Creepy Walk Down Memory Lane \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I reported this story I wondered how the data vendors might be using my personal information to score my potential health costs. So, I filled out \u003ca href=\"https://personalreports.lexisnexis.com/access_your_full_file_disclosure.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a request on the LexisNexis website\u003c/a> for the company to send me some of the personal information it has on me. A week later, a somewhat creepy, 182-page walk down memory lane arrived in the mail. Federal law only requires the company to provide a subset of the information it collected about me. So that's all I got.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LexisNexis had captured details about my life going back 25 years, many that I'd forgotten. It had my phone numbers going back decades and my home addresses going back to my childhood in Golden, Colo. Each location had a field to show whether the address was \"high risk.\" Mine were all blank. The company also collects records of any liens and criminal activity, which, thankfully, I didn't have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My report was boring, which isn't a surprise. I've lived a middle-class life and grown up in good neighborhoods. But it made me wonder: What if I had lived in \"high-risk\" neighborhoods? Could that ever be used by insurers to jack up my rates — or to avoid me altogether?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wanted to see more. If LexisNexis had health risk scores on me, I wanted to see how they were calculated and, more importantly, whether they were accurate. But the company told me that if it had calculated my scores it would have done so on behalf of its client, my insurance company. So, I couldn't have them.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>ProPublica Senior Research Fellow Claire Perlman contributed to this story. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom based in New York.

John McCain, diagnosed with a deadly form of brain cancer just five days ago, returned to applause on the Senate floor Tuesday, where he cast a crucial vote to move forward on repeal of the Affordable Care Act and urged his colleagues to regain their sense of bipartisan cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the longtime Arizona senator, two-time presidential candidate and perhaps America's most famous former prisoner of war, warned that he \"will not vote for this bill as it is today,\" describing it as \"a shell.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain said he would attend the Senate for a few days and then go home to Arizona to recuperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have every intention of returning here to give you all reason to regret the nice things you said about me,\" he told his fellow senators, addressing the outpouring of support he's received since announcing his diagnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a remarkable moment, to see McCain, whose daughter described him poetically as a \"warrior at dusk,\" take his place again in the \"world's greatest deliberative body,\" where he has represented his Southwestern state for 30 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain, with surgical stitches clearly visible above his left eye, admonished both Republicans and Democrats to work together in the old way and to stop trying to make laws \"behind closed doors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He acknowledged that it was easy to fall victim to the urge to win instead of doing what is right. \"Merely preventing your political opponents from getting what they want isn't very inspiring,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he advised strongly: \"Stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the television, radio and internet. The hell with them!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw4RqZAKa5A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, McCain's vote, along with a tiebreaker from Vice President Mike Pence, gave Republicans the 51 votes they needed for the \"motion to proceed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A motion to proceed is what it sounds like — a measure to allow debate to begin. There will be 20 hours of debate, which will expire Wednesday, NPR's Susan Davis reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans could only lose two votes for a majority without any Democratic support. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, both voted no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the motion-to-proceed vote and the ensuing debate, no one is quite sure — not even Republicans — what of substance the GOP will try to pass to overhaul health care, which affects roughly one-sixth of the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, promised to bring a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act with a two-year delay to the floor, which President Trump seemed to be on board with. But, up to this point, the votes aren't there for that approach; too many Republicans have come out publicly opposing the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then what? If the full repeal isn't brought to the floor, or if it fails, then it's on to the Senate's version of no-holds barred — a \"vote-o-rama,\" where anyone can bring any amendment to the floor and have it voted on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would be kind of like doing the work normally done for months in committees out on the Senate floor in a matter of hours and days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"A1BV4vIZp3nWCZPcR9pkrpepufcyYqww\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is just the latest chapter in Republicans' difficulty replacing the ACA, also known as Obamacare. Legislatively, they have been plagued by starts and stops during the Trump presidency, unable to get their differing ideological factions on the same page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obamacare is the law of the land,\" House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., declared after the House's health care flameout months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, through arm twisting and legislative tweaks, the House eventually passed a version that tinkered with the ACA. The Congressional Budget Office said the law would increase the number of uninsured by tens of millions, especially because of how it would change Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless it was a political victory, if only a lead at halftime. It was greeted by Bud Lights in the House and a Rose Garden celebration with the president of the United States. There was no \"45\" jersey with GOP on the front and \"Trump\" on the back, but there might as well have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One would have thought a new law had been signed. It hadn't. The House version was headed to the Senate, where it would certainly change and have to be reconciled with the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to the drawing board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three months later, that Rose Garden ceremony remains the high point for Republicans. The GOP has not been able to gather the votes in the Senate — and that has started to really rankle Trump. His irritation was evident during his appearance Monday at the Boy Scouts National Jamboree in West Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As the Scout law says, a Scout is trustworthy, loyal,\" Trump said. He added, \"We could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who was on stage with him, Trump said, \"Hopefully he's going to get the votes tomorrow to start our path toward killing this horrible thing known as Obamacare that's really hurting us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spoke of Price as if he were McConnell, as if he had some control over whipping the votes on health care. Price wasn't even a senator before joining Trump's Cabinet; he was a member of the House from Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went on: \"By the way, are you going to get the votes? He better get them. He better get them. Oh, he better. Otherwise, I'll say, 'Tom, you're fired.' I'll get somebody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Trump turned to Price, smiling, as if to say, \"Only kidding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or maybe not. That came on the same day he called his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, \"beleaguered.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday morning, he tweeted criticism of Sessions, calling him \"weak\" on Hillary Clinton and \"leakers\" from the intelligence community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/889790429398528000\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to the Scouts, Trump wasn't quite done yet: \"He better get Sen. [Shelley Moore] Capito to vote for it. He better get the other senators to vote for it.

John McCain, diagnosed with a deadly form of brain cancer just five days ago, returned to applause on the Senate floor Tuesday, where he cast a crucial vote to move forward on repeal of the Affordable Care Act and urged his colleagues to regain their sense of bipartisan cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the longtime Arizona senator, two-time presidential candidate and perhaps America's most famous former prisoner of war, warned that he \"will not vote for this bill as it is today,\" describing it as \"a shell.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain said he would attend the Senate for a few days and then go home to Arizona to recuperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have every intention of returning here to give you all reason to regret the nice things you said about me,\" he told his fellow senators, addressing the outpouring of support he's received since announcing his diagnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a remarkable moment, to see McCain, whose daughter described him poetically as a \"warrior at dusk,\" take his place again in the \"world's greatest deliberative body,\" where he has represented his Southwestern state for 30 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain, with surgical stitches clearly visible above his left eye, admonished both Republicans and Democrats to work together in the old way and to stop trying to make laws \"behind closed doors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He acknowledged that it was easy to fall victim to the urge to win instead of doing what is right. \"Merely preventing your political opponents from getting what they want isn't very inspiring,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he advised strongly: \"Stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the television, radio and internet.

There will be 20 hours of debate, which will expire Wednesday, NPR's Susan Davis reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans could only lose two votes for a majority without any Democratic support. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, both voted no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the motion-to-proceed vote and the ensuing debate, no one is quite sure — not even Republicans — what of substance the GOP will try to pass to overhaul health care, which affects roughly one-sixth of the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, promised to bring a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act with a two-year delay to the floor, which President Trump seemed to be on board with. But, up to this point, the votes aren't there for that approach; too many Republicans have come out publicly opposing the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then what? If the full repeal isn't brought to the floor, or if it fails, then it's on to the Senate's version of no-holds barred — a \"vote-o-rama,\" where anyone can bring any amendment to the floor and have it voted on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would be kind of like doing the work normally done for months in committees out on the Senate floor in a matter of hours and days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is just the latest chapter in Republicans' difficulty replacing the ACA, also known as Obamacare. Legislatively, they have been plagued by starts and stops during the Trump presidency, unable to get their differing ideological factions on the same page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obamacare is the law of the land,\" House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., declared after the House's health care flameout months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, through arm twisting and legislative tweaks, the House eventually passed a version that tinkered with the ACA. The Congressional Budget Office said the law would increase the number of uninsured by tens of millions, especially because of how it would change Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless it was a political victory, if only a lead at halftime. It was greeted by Bud Lights in the House and a Rose Garden celebration with the president of the United States. There was no \"45\" jersey with GOP on the front and \"Trump\" on the back, but there might as well have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One would have thought a new law had been signed. It hadn't. The House version was headed to the Senate, where it would certainly change and have to be reconciled with the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to the drawing board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three months later, that Rose Garden ceremony remains the high point for Republicans. The GOP has not been able to gather the votes in the Senate — and that has started to really rankle Trump. His irritation was evident during his appearance Monday at the Boy Scouts National Jamboree in West Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As the Scout law says, a Scout is trustworthy, loyal,\" Trump said. He added, \"We could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who was on stage with him, Trump said, \"Hopefully he's going to get the votes tomorrow to start our path toward killing this horrible thing known as Obamacare that's really hurting us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spoke of Price as if he were McConnell, as if he had some control over whipping the votes on health care. Price wasn't even a senator before joining Trump's Cabinet; he was a member of the House from Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went on: \"By the way, are you going to get the votes? He better get them. He better get them. Oh, he better. Otherwise, I'll say, 'Tom, you're fired.' I'll get somebody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Trump turned to Price, smiling, as if to say, \"Only kidding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or maybe not. That came on the same day he called his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, \"beleaguered.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday morning, he tweeted criticism of Sessions, calling him \"weak\" on Hillary Clinton and \"leakers\" from the intelligence community.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"singleTwitterStatus","attributes":{"named":{"id":"889790429398528000"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\n\u003cp>Speaking to the Scouts, Trump wasn't quite done yet: \"He better get Sen.

The Senate bill, called the \"Better Care Reconciliation Act,\" would repeal major parts of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The broad outlines of it look a lot like the House bill, the American Health Care Act, which was passed in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a lot of ways, the Senate's bill looks like the House bill: It rolls back the ACA's Medicaid expansion — making for deep spending cuts to that program, compared to current law.

That's just one provision that could hit older Americans hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A small group of Republican senators has written the bill in secret in recent weeks, with many Americans and even some fellow Republicans eagerly awaiting details about what's in the bill. After the bill was released on Thursday, protesters gathered outside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's office. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/NBCNightlyNews/status/877915310526939136\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Video from NBC\u003c/a> showed police removing some of those protesters from the hallway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NBCNightlyNews/status/877915310526939136\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Big Changes to Medicaid\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some of the biggest changes this bill makes are to Medicaid, the entitlement program that provides health care to low-income Americans. In that sense, it looks like the House bill, which the CBO said would cut Medicaid by $834 billion over a decade (relative to current law), with a loss of 14 million beneficiaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both bills roll back a Medicaid expansion undertaken under the Affordable Care Act. That law extended the program to some low-income Americans above the poverty level. The Senate proposal would roll back that expansion, though it would do so more slowly than the House bill proposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with the House, the Senate also proposes giving states either a per capita cap on Medicaid spending or a block grant of funds. That's a fundamental change; currently the program is \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/newsletters/headlines-in-health-policy/2017/jan/january-23-2017/medicaid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">open-ended\u003c/a>,\" meaning funding increases as need increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's another change on top of that. Those caps would vary based on the rate of inflation, and the inflation rate the Senate would attach to those caps is one that is lower than the inflation rate the House attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might sound like a minor wonky change, but it's not, says one former Medicaid administrator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's a big deal.

The taxes in Obamacare were largely progressive, as Kyle Pomerleau of the right-leaning Tax Foundation told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To one health policy expert, those tax cuts, combined with the cuts to Medicaid, mean the bill isn't a health care overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a tax cut bill, and they had to find a way to finance it, and Medicaid beneficiaries are going to be the ones who hurt,\" said Nicholas Bagley, a University of Michigan Law School professor who specializes in health law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a few other ways the Senate bill mirrors the House bill.

The Senate bill, called the \"Better Care Reconciliation Act,\" would repeal major parts of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The broad outlines of it look a lot like the House bill, the American Health Care Act, which was passed in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a lot of ways, the Senate's bill looks like the House bill: It rolls back the ACA's Medicaid expansion — making for deep spending cuts to that program, compared to current law. The Senate bill also proposes eliminating many ACA taxes, and the employer penalties associated with the employer and individual mandates would be repealed retroactively, dating back to the start of 2016. And like the House bill, young adults up to the age of 26 could stay on their parents' health care plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larry Levitt, a health policy expert at the Kaiser Family Foundation, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/larry_levitt/status/877910700315729920\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">summed up his thoughts on the bill\u003c/a> on Twitter on Thursday: \"In broad strokes, the Senate bill is just like the House: Big tax cuts, big cut in federal heath spending, big increase in the uninsured.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with the House bill, the Senate proposal also allows insurance companies to charge older people five times more than younger people — under the ACA, that ratio is 3 to 1.

In that sense, it looks like the House bill, which the CBO said would cut Medicaid by $834 billion over a decade (relative to current law), with a loss of 14 million beneficiaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both bills roll back a Medicaid expansion undertaken under the Affordable Care Act. That law extended the program to some low-income Americans above the poverty level. The Senate proposal would roll back that expansion, though it would do so more slowly than the House bill proposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with the House, the Senate also proposes giving states either a per capita cap on Medicaid spending or a block grant of funds. That's a fundamental change; currently the program is \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/newsletters/headlines-in-health-policy/2017/jan/january-23-2017/medicaid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">open-ended\u003c/a>,\" meaning funding increases as need increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's another change on top of that.
