 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.

+CBO scores OBBBA as reducing federal Medicaid spending by $793B over 10 years while projecting $204B increase in uncompensated care costs—but does not model the long-term prevention savings lost from 10M people losing continuous coverage. The 10-year window captures coverage reduction savings but excludes the 15-20 year chronic disease cost increases from prevention program disruption.

 CHW reimbursement infrastructure demonstrates the same payment boundary stall in the SDOH domain: 20 states with approved SPAs after 17 years, with billing code uptake remaining slow even where reimbursement is technically available. The bottleneck is not policy approval but operational infrastructure — CBOs cannot contract with healthcare entities, transportation costs are not covered, and 'community care hubs' are emerging as coordination infrastructure. This parallels VBC's 60% touch / 14% risk gap: technical capability exists but the operational infrastructure to execute at scale does not.

+OBBBA adds a new VBC stall mechanism beyond payment structure: population instability. Work requirements create 6-month enrollment churn cycles that break the 3-5 year time horizons VBC prevention economics require. CBO projects 5.3M uninsured from work requirements alone by 2034, with coverage loss timeline of 1.3M in 2026, 5.2M in 2027. Even when payment models align toward full risk, enrollment fragmentation prevents prevention ROI from materializing.

 PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[value-based care transitions stall at the payment boundary because 60 percent of payments touch value metrics but only 14 percent bear full risk]]
 WHY ARCHIVED: Documents the largest single policy disruption to VBC infrastructure — not through payment model change but through coverage fragmentation destroying VBC's population stability requirement
 EXTRACTION HINT: Extractor should focus on the VBC enrollment stability mechanism: WHY does continuous enrollment matter for VBC math, and HOW does OBBBA break it. This is a structural analysis claim, not a simple "cuts are bad" claim.
