Question 9. How are participant consent, family involvement, conservator authority, and provider advocacy separated and documented? The 2023 report raises a concern, not a finding. People served: Government Medicaid decisions may implicate accessible planning, disability access, fair process, and community integration. David Medeiros: Speaking, petitioning, or helping people assert disability rights may be protected from governmental retaliation. ABI Resources: ABI may advocate and preserve records, but its own constitutional claim still needs state action and a protected interest. Constitutional claims need state action; beneficiary choice does not guarantee ABI referrals or a contract. Classify the issue before choosing a remedy. Preserve the participant's plans, notices, choices, safety reviews, and service history. Apply Constitution, statute, regulation, contract, then record.
