> | | Where's the page that asks you about your family, assets and income? |
Ah, yes, you're right. There's a second page. It asks:
-Name, gender, marital status, SS#, DOB of family members
-Marital status, race & ethnicity (optional).
And then in that section, there's this:
Terms, Rights, and Responsibilities for New York State of Health- I have given true answers to all the questions on this form to the best of my knowledge. I know that there may be a penalty if I'm not truthful.
- I understand the New York State of Health Marketplace (the Marketplace) will keep my information private, as required by law. My answers on this form will only be used to decide if I qualify for health coverage.
- I understand the Marketplace will not ask any questions about my medical history.
- Household members who don't want coverage will not be asked questions about citizenship or immigration status.
IMPORTANT: As part of the application process, we may need to retrieve your confidential information from data sources, including Social Security, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, and other state databases the Department of Health determines are necessary for eligibility verification. We need this information to check your eligibility for coverage and to give you the best service possible. We may also check your information at a later time to make sure your information is up to date.
- I understand the Marketplace will use data sources, including a consumer credit reporting service and the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, to verify my identity.
- I understand that if any of the information I provide doesn't match, the Marketplace may ask me to send them proof.
- I agree to have my information used and retrieved from the data sources listed above for this application. I have consent from everyone listed on the application for their information to be retrieved and used from the data sources.
- I know that I must tell the Marketplace if anything changes from what I wrote on this application. I should call 1-855-355-5777 or visit www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov to report any change or for help getting required information.
- I know that it is against Federal law to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. I can file a discrimination complaint by visiting www.hhs.gov/ocr/office/file.
I confirm that no one applying for health insurance on this application is in jail or living in a medical facility.
There is an income section, but it probably is autopopulated from my state tax filings because the system bypassed that.
Still, "I understand the Marketplace will not ask any questions about my medical history."
Which is the whole point.
And there's nothing there that the government doesn't already have.
