1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,003
Question 2.

2
00:00:01,003 --> 00:00:04,216
Can a person with memory,
reasoning, communication, or

3
00:00:04,216 --> 00:00:07,429
executive-function limitations make
a real choice without information...?

4
00:00:07,429 --> 00:00:10,642
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,642 --> 00:00:11,044
finding.

6
00:00:11,044 --> 00:00:11,847
People served:

7
00:00:11,847 --> 00:00:14,658
Government Medicaid decisions may
implicate accessible planning,

8
00:00:14,658 --> 00:00:17,470
disability access, fair process,
and community integration.

9
00:00:17,470 --> 00:00:18,273
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:18,273 --> 00:00:21,486
Speaking, petitioning, or helping
people assert disability rights

11
00:00:21,486 --> 00:00:23,896
may be protected from
governmental retaliation.

12
00:00:23,896 --> 00:00:24,699
ABI Resources:

13
00:00:24,699 --> 00:00:27,912
ABI may advocate and
preserve records, but its

14
00:00:27,912 --> 00:00:31,125
own constitutional claim
still needs state action and

15
00:00:31,125 --> 00:00:32,330
a protected interest.

16
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:34,338
Constitutional claims
need state action;

17
00:00:34,338 --> 00:00:37,551
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

18
00:00:37,551 --> 00:00:38,354
a contract.

19
00:00:38,354 --> 00:00:41,165
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

20
00:00:41,165 --> 00:00:44,378
Preserve the participant's plans,
notices, choices, safety reviews,

21
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:45,583
and service history.

22
00:00:45,583 --> 00:00:48,394
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
