VBID termination was driven by $2.3B excess costs in CY2021-2022, measured within a short window that could not capture long-term savings from food-as-medicine interventions. CMS cited 'unprecedented' excess costs as justification, demonstrating how short-term cost accounting drives policy decisions even for preventive interventions with strong theoretical long-term ROI.

VBID termination was justified by $2.3 billion in annual excess costs, but these costs represent upfront investment in supplemental benefits (primarily food/nutrition assistance) that would generate savings beyond the 10-year scoring window. CMS explicitly stated no viable policy modifications could address the excess costs, suggesting the scoring methodology itself—not the program design—was the binding constraint.
