When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I firmly believe this is not 'the general population', but being used in the statistical sense.

: "Population" just might refer to some specific segment of the total population, those targeted by this insurance - Asker will know if that's the case, A priori, it makes more sense to me to include everyone in this "population".

Discussion
I think this is a specific usage of 'population' used in health statistics etc. studies, and does NOT refer to 'the population as a whole'.
Normally, it refers to a particular 'group' or 'population' (wherein the idea of 'group' is a purely abstract, conceptual one), such as 'men over 50' etc.
It would help to know the orders of magnitude and expressed units of these 'costs', which might give a clue as to the type of 'population' intended here.
