While this is a great thing, it's also necessary that you be prepared to fork over personal data - especially proof of income - and otherwise do whatever is required to prove that you are (un?)worthy enough as with any similar medical financial aid program.

Its not a financial aid program, its a market segmentation program.
Exactly, they just want to suck you dry. They don't want to let a̶ ̶p̶o̶t̶e̶n̶t̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶r̶e̶v̶e̶n̶u̶e̶ you die from lack of medicine that costs them pennies.
Wow nitpicking much?
Not at all.

I believe that regardless of whether someone is at a financial disadvantage, neither business nor government should have the ability force them to surrender both dignity and personal financial information in order to receive aid.

It's hard enough to ask for help without having to lay your life bare to strangers in order to receive it.
