IMPaCT's $2.47 Medicaid ROI within the same fiscal year demonstrates that at least one category of preventive intervention (CHW programs) generates returns fast enough to be captured within annual budget cycles, not just 10-year windows. This suggests the scoring methodology problem may be less severe for interventions with rapid return profiles.

CHW state policy expansion is now threatened by federal funding uncertainty from DOGE-era Medicaid cuts. States are building CHW infrastructure specifically as a hedge against federal pullback—Milbank Memorial Fund's August 2025 framing positions state-level CHW offices and SPAs as 'resilience against federal instability.' This inverts the budget scoring problem: rather than federal scoring undervaluing prevention, states are now planning for CHW programs WITHOUT federal matching funds because they anticipate federal support will disappear. The 10-year window problem becomes moot when states expect zero federal contribution.

EXTRACTION HINT: Don't just extract the number of states. Extract the pattern: steady incremental progress on CHW coverage is now threatened by federal funding uncertainty from DOGE/Medicaid cuts, adding a new risk dimension to the scaling timeline.
