The big thing that's happened is, in the time since the affordable care act has been going on, our medical science has been advancing. we have now genomic data. we have the power of big data about what your living patterns are, what's happening in your body. even your smartphone can collect data about your walking or your pulse or other things that could be incredibly meaningful in being able to predict whether you have disease coming in the future and help avert those problems.
