This is an unexpected pathway to VBC transition failure. EXTRACTION HINT: Extractor should write a claim specifically about the ENROLLMENT STABILITY MECHANISM, not just "OBBBA cuts Medicaid." The claim should argue: VBC economics require 12-36 month enrollment continuity; OBBBA destroys that continuity; therefore VBC transition is delayed not just slowed.
