Case Study: Implementation of Connecticut’s Health Enhancement Plan Mr. Arnold is a bridge safety supervisor for the state of Connecticut. He has worked in many regions throughout the state and relies on state insurance plans for coverage. Within the past few years, he sustained an injury on the job and, while at the hospital, was diagnosed with COPD, after many years of smoking.

Lazer Technologies Inc. (LTI) has produced a total of 20 high-power laser systems that could be used to destroy any approaching enemy missiles or aircraft. The 20 units have been produced, funded in part as private research within the research and development arm of LTI, but the bulk of the funding came from a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).   Testing of the laser units has shown that they are effective defense weapons,  and if redesigned to add portability and easier field maintenance, the units could be truck-mounted.   The DoD has asked LTI to submit a bid for 100 more units.   The 20 units that LTI has built so far cost the following amounts and are listed in the order in which they were produced: Use Exhibit 6.4 and Exhibit 6.5.     UNITNUMBER COST($ MILLIONS) UNITNUMBER COST($ MILLIONS) 1   $ 13.0   11 $ 2.2   2     7.5   12   2.1   3     5.8   13   1.9   4     4.5   14   1.9   5     4.0   15   1.7   6     3.5   16   1.7   7     3.1   17   1.5…
