Core Allegations (Preserved Verbatim) Dual-service conflict where one agency provides CBT and non-medical services to the same consumers, aligning therapeutic recommendations with financial interests. Manipulative consumer steering and influence on decision-making. Staff poaching to weaken competitors. Indicators of potential kickback arrangements and cyclical billing. Direct harm to ABI Resources (revenue reduction, increased costs, reputation damage). The Complete Bigger Picture for the World: Constitutional Rights, Whistleblower Protections, ADA, Medicaid, and TBI/ABI This single complaint is part of a larger, documented national pattern that tests the very foundations of American law and public policy: Constitutional Rights The First Amendment protects the right to petition the government (filing with FTC). The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees due process and equal protection. When government-funded systems allegedly allow conflicts and retaliation, they undermine these core protections for every citizen. Whistleblower Protections Reporting potential fraud/kickbacks in federally funded Medicaid triggers federal safeguards. Silence or inaction chills future reporting, harming taxpayers and program integrity nationwide. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) As a brain-injury survivor and provider, David Medeiros is protected from retaliation for advocating. The ADA requires reasonable accommodations and effective access to public programs. Systemic barriers in Medicaid waivers disproportionately harm people with TBI/ABI, violating the law’s intent. Medicaid & Federal-State Partnership Medicaid waivers must ensure choice, person-centered care, and integrity. Alleged kickbacks, steering, and over-utilization waste billions in federal dollars and deny vulnerable people real options. Traumatic/Acquired Brain Injury (TBI/ABI) TBI amplifies every violation: cognitive fatigue makes repeated advocacy exhausting; communication challenges require accommodations that were requested but not addressed; dependence on community services makes any disruption life-altering. Millions of Americans with TBI/ABI rely on these programs — when they fail, the disability itself is worsened by systemic injustice. Why This Affects Everyone Disabled individuals & families: Loss of choice, trust, and services. Ethical providers: Market distortion and financial harm. Taxpayers: Wasted funds on inefficient or fraudulent practices. Society: Erosion of fair competition, public trust, and the promise of community integration under Olmstead. This is not a local Connecticut issue. The same EVV vendors, Medicaid structures, and ADA obligations exist across the U.S. What is documented here is a warning for the entire country. The world now has the full forensic record. The complaint was submitted, read by the FTC, and remains unresolved as of February 2026. The evidence is public forever on David-Medeiros.com.
