extraction_notes: "Three claims extracted focusing on PACE as existence proof of attractor state model (works but doesn't scale), for-profit entry as potential inflection point, and proven viability at individual program level. Three enrichments: challenge to attractor state convergence assumption, extension of payment boundary analysis to 100% risk case, confirmation of community-based care value with 2025 growth data. The 0.13% penetration after 50 years vs MA's 54% is the key tension—model elegance vs market reality."

PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[the healthcare attractor state is a prevention-first system where aligned payment continuous monitoring and AI-augmented care delivery create a flywheel that profits from health rather than sickness]]
WHY ARCHIVED: PACE is the strongest counter-evidence and supporting evidence simultaneously — it proves the model works AND that structural barriers prevent scaling. Essential for honest distance measurement.
EXTRACTION HINT: The 0.13% penetration after 50 years is the key number. Compare to MA's 54% — what does the gap reveal about what actually scales in US healthcare?
