extraction_notes: "Two claims extracted: (1) the solvency collapse itself as evidence of Medicare fiscal fragility, (2) the fiscal collision thesis combining demographics + MA overpayments + tax cuts. Three enrichments applied to existing cost curve, MA reform, and VBC transition claims, adding fiscal timeline context. The 2040 date is the key extractable insight—it transforms abstract fiscal pressure into a concrete 14-year countdown."

PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[the healthcare cost curve bends up through 2035 because new curative and screening capabilities create more treatable conditions faster than prices decline]]
WHY ARCHIVED: Critical fiscal context — the solvency timeline constrains all Medicare policy including MA reform, VBC transition, and coverage decisions.
EXTRACTION HINT: The 2055→2040 collapse in one year is the extractable insight. It demonstrates Medicare's fiscal fragility and the interaction between tax policy and healthcare sustainability.
