§33-16F-1 Legislative intent. - West Virginia Statutes

§33-16F-1. Legislative intent.
The Legislature finds that the inability of a significant number of state residents to obtain affordable health insurance coverage adversely affects everyone in our state. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to expand the availability of health care options for uninsured residents by developing affordable health care products that emphasize coverage for basic and preventive health care services, provide inpatient hospital and emergency care services and offer optional catastrophic coverage.
