Illustrative program scenario

Adjust hypothetical assumptions to see how this simple teaching model changes its outputs.

Tax rate assumption15 %

Baseline coverage60 %

Program spend per person500 units

Illustrative program cost$30,000,000.00

Model assumptions: Illustrative population of 100,000. Coverage responds by +0.35 percentage points for each percentage-point tax change from a 15% reference, and −0.015 points for each additional spend unit per person from a 500-unit reference. Program cost = population × coverage × spend per person. These arbitrary linear relationships are solely for learning; no observed data, distributional effects, behavioral dynamics, or real-world forecast is represented.
