00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.742
In November 2023,
David Medeiros did more

00:00:03.742 --> 00:00:04.754
than complain.

00:00:04.754 --> 00:00:08.297
He and ABI Resources
assembled six linked

00:00:08.297 --> 00:00:11.839
grievances into a fifty-two-page
record, dated each

00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.382
underlying letter, named
the agencies asked to

00:00:15.382 --> 00:00:18.924
act, and proposed audits,
disclosure, accessible appeals,

00:00:18.924 --> 00:00:20.442
and independent review.

00:00:20.442 --> 00:00:23.984
For people with brain
injuries, that structure

00:00:23.984 --> 00:00:27.527
turns scattered harm into
questions about choice,

00:00:27.527 --> 00:00:31.069
due process, disability
access, and community life.

00:00:31.069 --> 00:00:34.612
For Medeiros, it documents
speech and petition.

00:00:34.612 --> 00:00:38.154
For ABI Resources, it
preserves organizational and

00:00:38.154 --> 00:00:41.190
contract interests without
borrowing beneficiaries' rights.

00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:42.708
The counterpoint matters:

00:00:42.708 --> 00:00:46.251
a report proves what was reported, not

00:00:46.251 --> 00:00:48.781
that every allegation is true.

00:00:48.781 --> 00:00:51.311
Its national value is testability.

00:00:51.311 --> 00:00:55.360
Government can answer it
with records—or reveal

00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:57.890
the records that are missing.
