Figure 3
The figure is arranged in a two-by-two grid layout. The first graph, positioned at the top left, is titled Health expenditure” at the top center. The horizontal axis is labeled “Months”, with markings at 1.00, 12.75, 24.50, 36.25, and 48.00. The vertical axis is labeled “Euros” and ranges from 0 to 2 billion in increments of 1 billion. A legend below the graph shows three lines: a solid blue line labeled “Run 1”, a red dash-dot line labeled “Run 2”, and a pink dotted line labeled “Run 3”. The “Run 1” line begins at (1.00, 0), rises upward in a concave-up pattern, and ends at (48.00, 1.56 billion). The “Run 2” line begins at (1.00, 0), rises upward in a concave-up pattern, and ends at (48.00, 1.63 billion). The “Run 3” line begins at (1.00, 0), rises upward in a concave-up pattern, and ends at (48.00, 1.51 billion). The second graph, positioned at the top right, is titled “Hospitalizations” at the top center. The horizontal axis is labeled “Months”, with markings at 1.00, 12.75, 24.50, 36.25, and 48.00. The vertical axis is labeled “People or Months” and ranges from 0 to 20,000 in increments of 10,000. The same legend appears below the graph, showing three lines: a solid blue line labeled “Run 1”, a red dash-dot line labeled “Run 2”, and a pink dotted line labeled “Run 3”. The “Run 1” line begins at (1.00, 0), rises upward smoothly, and ends at (48.00, 20,000). The “Run 2” line begins at (1.00, 0), rises upward smoothly, and ends at (48.00, 20,000). The “Run 3” line begins at (1.00, 0), rises upward smoothly, and ends at (48.00, 17,900). The third graph, positioned at the bottom left, is titled “Total costs” at the top center. The horizontal axis is labeled “Months”, with markings at 1.00, 12.75, 24.50, 36.25, and 48.00. The vertical axis is labeled “Euros or Months” and ranges from 0 to 70 million in increments of 35 million. The legend appears below the graph, showing three lines: a solid blue line labeled “Run 1”, a red dash-dot line labeled “Run 2”, and a pink dotted line labeled “Run 3”. The “Run 1” line begins at (1.00, 4.14 million), rises steadily in a concave-up pattern, and ends at (48.00, 63.79 million). The “Run 2” line begins at (1.00, 6.21 million), rises steadily in a concave-up pattern, and ends at (48.00, 65.17 million). The “Run 3” line begins at (1.00, 4.14 million), rises steadily in a concave-up pattern, and ends at (48.00, 59.66 million). The fourth section, positioned at the bottom right, displays two horizontal sliders. The top slider is labeled “G Ps”, with markings 500 on the left, 1.75 thousand at the center, and 3 thousand on the right. A small rectangular handle is positioned at the value of 1039. The bottom slider is labeled “Screening Emp”, with markings 0 on the left, 15 at the center, and 30 on the right. Its handle is positioned at the midpoint value 15.
