Congressional oversight needs a question map, not a conclusion.

00:00:02.855 --> 00:00:05.426
For a hearing on disability rights and Medicaid, organize eight lanes:

00:00:05.711 --> 00:00:08.193
authority; federal funds; beneficiary access;

00:00:08.413 --> 00:00:09.972
provider choice; complaint routing;

00:00:10.412 --> 00:00:12.718
accommodations; preservation; outcomes.

00:00:13.202 --> 00:00:16.299
GAO says it provides Congress fact-based, nonpartisan information

00:00:16.563 --> 00:00:19.332
and audits government operations at congressional request or under law.

00:00:19.836 --> 00:00:22.978
A hearing request is not a hearing. Testimony is not an audit.

00:00:23.043 --> 00:00:25.395
A complaint is not proof. Ask agencies what they received,

00:00:25.789 --> 00:00:27.898
what authority they applied, where they referred the matter,

00:00:28.315 --> 00:00:30.667
what records they preserved, and what outcome they documented.

00:00:30.732 --> 00:00:32.952
Separate David Medeiros's proposed No Wrong Door reforms

00:00:32.952 --> 00:00:35.698
from law and programs. The purpose is fact-finding without assuming

00:00:35.720 --> 00:00:37.741
fraud, discrimination, retaliation,

00:00:38.003 --> 00:00:39.277
obstruction, or liability.
