1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,742
In November 2023,
David Medeiros did more

2
00:00:03,742 --> 00:00:04,754
than complain.

3
00:00:04,754 --> 00:00:08,297
He and ABI Resources
assembled six linked

4
00:00:08,297 --> 00:00:11,839
grievances into a fifty-two-page
record, dated each

5
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:15,382
underlying letter, named
the agencies asked to

6
00:00:15,382 --> 00:00:18,924
act, and proposed audits,
disclosure, accessible appeals,

7
00:00:18,924 --> 00:00:20,442
and independent review.

8
00:00:20,442 --> 00:00:23,984
For people with brain
injuries, that structure

9
00:00:23,984 --> 00:00:27,527
turns scattered harm into
questions about choice,

10
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:31,069
due process, disability
access, and community life.

11
00:00:31,069 --> 00:00:34,612
For Medeiros, it documents
speech and petition.

12
00:00:34,612 --> 00:00:38,154
For ABI Resources, it
preserves organizational and

13
00:00:38,154 --> 00:00:41,190
contract interests without
borrowing beneficiaries' rights.

14
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:42,708
The counterpoint matters:

15
00:00:42,708 --> 00:00:46,251
a report proves what was reported, not

16
00:00:46,251 --> 00:00:48,781
that every allegation is true.

17
00:00:48,781 --> 00:00:51,311
Its national value is testability.

18
00:00:51,311 --> 00:00:55,360
Government can answer it
with records—or reveal

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,890
the records that are missing.
