00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.261
On November twenty-first,

00:00:02.361 --> 00:00:04.175
2023,

00:00:04.275 --> 00:00:09.117
David Medeiros issued a fifty-two-page
whistleblower report concerning

00:00:09.217 --> 00:00:12.759
Connecticut’s Medicaid acquired brain
injury waiver.

00:00:13.059 --> 00:00:16.664
The report page lists seventeen
exhibits and a stated

00:00:16.764 --> 00:00:20.327
two-thousand-four-hundred-eighty-six-page
binder.

00:00:20.627 --> 00:00:23.997
It also lists letters addressed to
state officials,

00:00:24.097 --> 00:00:25.975
members of Congress,

00:00:26.075 --> 00:00:28.827
and disability-rights organizations.

00:00:29.127 --> 00:00:32.775
The public action ledger records
additional complaints,

00:00:32.875 --> 00:00:34.923
public-record requests,

00:00:35.023 --> 00:00:36.665
support tickets,

00:00:36.765 --> 00:00:38.387
correspondence,

00:00:38.487 --> 00:00:40.151
and responses.

00:00:40.451 --> 00:00:43.928
This shows extensive use of
accountability channels.

00:00:44.228 --> 00:00:47.428
It does not prove that every recipient
received,

00:00:47.528 --> 00:00:48.552
read,

00:00:48.652 --> 00:00:50.017
investigated,

00:00:50.117 --> 00:00:52.357
or agreed with the report.

00:00:52.657 --> 00:00:56.967
It also does not establish legal
exhaustion of every remedy.

00:00:57.267 --> 00:01:00.061
The First Amendment protects
petitioning.

00:01:00.361 --> 00:01:03.177
Program-specific deadlines still
matter.

00:01:03.477 --> 00:01:06.379
At david-medeiros.com,

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:09.679

sent,

00:01:09.779 --> 00:01:10.995
received,

00:01:11.095 --> 00:01:11.948
answered,

00:01:12.048 --> 00:01:13.029
referred,

00:01:13.129 --> 00:01:14.089
closed,

00:01:14.189 --> 00:01:15.981
and unresolved.

00:01:16.281 --> 00:01:19.097
Then open the underlying document.

protect the person first and obtain
qualified advice before a deadline passes.
