This week, the government unveiled the forms shoppers will fill out to apply for coverage from private insurers under the Obamacare rules. The government won't start accepting and processing those applications until later this year.

The form for individuals is a scant three pages -- a big improvement from the 21-page draft version circulated earlier this year. The revised application, unveiled Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), asks individuals for little more than their personal information, Social Security number, citizenship, job and income details, and current health coverage. Income, citizenship status and other information will be verified by other federal agencies, according to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the HHS unit that is coordinating the process.
