 PRIMARY CONNECTION: Active thread on Medicaid compression / GLP-1 coverage loss
 WHY ARCHIVED: Corrects a factual error in the active research thread (October 2026 → January 2027 for work requirements). Critical for accurate timeline on any claims about OBBBA coverage loss.
 EXTRACTION HINT: Do not extract as a standalone claim. Use to correct the timeline in any claim mentioning OBBBA coverage loss. If a claim was drafted with "October 2026" as the date, correct to "January 1, 2027" (or "mid-2026 in early-implementing states via 1115 waivers").
