PEIA premium relief plan stalls in Senate debate
West Virginia PEIA faces criticism as a Senate bill to cap state premium coverage at 80 percent for individuals and 75 percent for families stalls before House action. Unions oppose the plan, arguing it shifts costs from the state to teachers. The crisis centers on a 1980s sick leave conversion, allowing retirees to swap unused days for health care. Projections show conversion costs rising from about $8 million in 2001 to roughly $38 million by 2015.
