There’s also MIB Group (Medical Information Bureau) which collects healthcare data as part of an exemption to the fair credit reporting act, along with an extensive astroturfing campaign to hide their activities (the Wiki article on them is useless).
> In addition to an individual's credit history, data collected by MIB may include medical conditions, driving records, criminal activity, and participation in hazardous sports, among other facts. MIB's member companies account for 99 percent of the individual life insurance policies and 80 percent of all health and disability policies issued in the United States and Canada.

You may request the data they have on you and allegedly you can dispute the information.
