2. Are you or any of the proposed applicants now pregnant or expectant fathers?

3. Has any person proposed for coverage been declined for health insurance in the past 12 months? (Missouri residents do not have to answer)

4. Have you or any proposed applicant received treatment, medication, medical and/or surgical advice, and/or been diagnosed with, cancer or tumor, stroke, heart disease including heart attack, chest pain, asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or emphysema, liver disorder, degenerative disc disease or herniation/bulge, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative joint disease of the knee, diabetes, chronic renal failure, alcohol abuse, chemical dependency, or diseases of a mental nervous nature within the past 5 years? 5.
