Uncovered: Do you know your health score? Your insurer does

Article Abstract:

Health insurers in the United States are using computer technology to analyze the personal health of policyholders and predict, and possibly prevent, serious diseases and conditions. Predictive modeling can help health companies save money, and also benefit the clients who get preventive care provided the information is not ultimately used against them.
