§ 3923.14.
The falsity of any statement in the application for any policy of sickness and accident
insurance shall not bar the right to recovery thereunder, or be used in evidence at
any trial to recover upon such policy, unless it is clearly proved that such false
statement is willfully false, that it was fraudulently made, that it materially affects
either the acceptance of the risk or the hazard assumed by the insurer, that it induced
the insurer to issue the policy, and that but for such false statement the policy
would not have been issued. No alteration of any written application for any such policy, by erasure, insertion,
