### Additional Evidence (confirm)

*Source: [[2024-10-31-cms-vbid-model-termination-food-medicine]] | Added: 2026-03-19*
|

|
||||||
|
VBID termination cited $2.3-2.2 billion annual excess costs as justification, but this accounting captures only immediate expenditures for food/nutrition benefits, not the long-term savings from preventing chronic disease in food-insecure populations. The 10-year scoring window excludes the 15-30 year horizon where food-as-medicine ROI materializes through reduced diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. A program with positive lifetime ROI was terminated for 'excess costs' that ignore downstream savings.
