1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,004
Question 10.

2
00:00:01,004 --> 00:00:04,218
Does the program measure
independence, dignity, safety, and

3
00:00:04,218 --> 00:00:07,432
community participation, or mainly
authorizations, utilization, and cost?

4
00:00:07,432 --> 00:00:10,646
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,646 --> 00:00:11,048
finding.

6
00:00:11,048 --> 00:00:11,852
People served:

7
00:00:11,852 --> 00:00:14,664
Government Medicaid decisions may
implicate accessible planning,

8
00:00:14,664 --> 00:00:17,477
disability access, fair process,
and community integration.

9
00:00:17,477 --> 00:00:18,280
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,495
Speaking, petitioning, or helping
people assert disability rights

11
00:00:21,495 --> 00:00:23,905
may be protected from
governmental retaliation.

12
00:00:23,905 --> 00:00:24,709
ABI Resources:

13
00:00:24,709 --> 00:00:27,923
ABI may advocate and
preserve records, but its

14
00:00:27,923 --> 00:00:31,138
own constitutional claim
still needs state action and

15
00:00:31,138 --> 00:00:32,343
a protected interest.

16
00:00:32,343 --> 00:00:34,352
Constitutional claims
need state action;

17
00:00:34,352 --> 00:00:37,566
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

18
00:00:37,566 --> 00:00:38,370
a contract.

19
00:00:38,370 --> 00:00:41,182
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

20
00:00:41,182 --> 00:00:44,397
Preserve the participant's plans,
notices, choices, safety reviews,

21
00:00:44,397 --> 00:00:45,602
and service history.

22
00:00:45,602 --> 00:00:48,414
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
