The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a statement this morning that the application for public health insurance, reported in March to be 21 pages long for individuals, has been shorted to just three pages. The application for families has been reduced by “two-thirds.”
“Consumers will have a simple, easy-to-understand way to apply for health coverage later this year,” said CMS Acting Administrator Marilyn Tavenner in a statement today. “This is another step complete as we get ready for a consumer-friendly marketplace that will be open for business later this year.”
