The population of this fiscal note is all active armed forces, reserve forces and national guard currently in WV, increased by a factor of 250% to account for inactive personnel. This number is then multiplied by 50% for the percentage that would accept PEIA. This is performed due to active personnel are covered by the federal insurance Tricare and some inactive personnel may already have insurance coverage. There are currently 8,350 active personnel in WV. Applying the above adjustments to this number results in a final assumption of 14,613 new policies in PEIA.
