00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:01.010
Question 5.

00:00:01.010 --> 00:00:04.248
Were genuine alternatives
explained and recorded before a

00:00:04.248 --> 00:00:07.081
participant selected a
provider, service, or home?

00:00:07.081 --> 00:00:10.319
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:10.319 --> 00:00:10.724
finding.

00:00:10.724 --> 00:00:11.533
People served:

00:00:11.533 --> 00:00:14.367
Government Medicaid decisions may
implicate accessible planning,

00:00:14.367 --> 00:00:17.200
disability access, fair process,
and community integration.

00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:18.009
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.009 --> 00:00:21.248
Speaking, petitioning, or helping
people assert disability rights

00:00:21.248 --> 00:00:23.676
may be protected from
governmental retaliation.

00:00:23.676 --> 00:00:24.486
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.486 --> 00:00:27.724
ABI may advocate and
preserve records, but its

00:00:27.724 --> 00:00:30.962
own constitutional claim
still needs state action and

00:00:30.962 --> 00:00:32.176
a protected interest.

00:00:32.176 --> 00:00:34.200
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.438
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.438 --> 00:00:38.248
a contract.

00:00:38.248 --> 00:00:41.081
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:41.081 --> 00:00:44.319
Preserve the participant's plans,
notices, choices, safety reviews,

00:00:44.319 --> 00:00:45.533
and service history.

00:00:45.533 --> 00:00:48.367
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
