My only problem with it is that it could make you enter the same information (spouse and dependent names) up to three times, when it could just ask for it once and let you select them from a list later on down the form. Also, the insurer information fields could inherit, as well (might have the same carrier for medical/dental/vision, tho that's not guaranteed).
I see your point tho, selecting all the radio buttons & checkboxes is a worst-case scenario, and it could be most folks use only one part of this form and never have to experience the full cascading form. I like the subdued little R symbols for "required" although I wasn't sure what they meant until I found the key at the top. Funny, but if you click "download form" in the top right corner, you'll find the actual form looks shorter and easier to fill out by hand...it might actually BE easier to fill out, if it weren't for the need to fax it back in again. Of course, they don't tell you what to do with the downloaded form once you fill it out.

Robert:"No need to type anything." While I dont disagree that its not the best form in the world and would be better suited with a traditional multi page wizard. In your view, if someone was actually entering text in to this.. is it really so bad? whats the fundamental interaction flaw? For me own learning I like to understand -why- things are poor, not just point at them and smile. So, you're insight would be of great value. thanks - pauric . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
