00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.269
ABI Resources is legally separate from
David Medeiros and from every person

00:00:05.369 --> 00:00:06.543
it serves.

00:00:06.843 --> 00:00:11.259
A beneficiary’s qualified-provider
choice belongs to the beneficiary,

00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:13.193
subject to waiver,

00:00:13.293 --> 00:00:14.744
managed-care,

00:00:14.844 --> 00:00:16.487
qualification,

00:00:16.587 --> 00:00:18.592
and other program limits.

00:00:18.892 --> 00:00:22.497
It does not guarantee that one company
must be selected,

00:00:22.597 --> 00:00:23.771
authorized,

00:00:23.871 --> 00:00:25.001
contracted,

00:00:25.101 --> 00:00:26.445
or paid.

00:00:26.745 --> 00:00:29.988
ABI Resources may have its own
contract,

00:00:30.088 --> 00:00:31.517
enrollment,

00:00:31.617 --> 00:00:32.684
payment,

00:00:32.784 --> 00:00:33.936
procedural,

00:00:34.036 --> 00:00:35.615
equal-protection,

00:00:35.715 --> 00:00:36.653
speech,

00:00:36.753 --> 00:00:39.484
or anti-retaliation questions.

00:00:39.784 --> 00:00:42.771
Each requires a specific legal
interest,

00:00:42.871 --> 00:00:44.364
government actor,

00:00:44.464 --> 00:00:45.403
action,

00:00:45.503 --> 00:00:46.420
notice,

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:47.459
reason,

00:00:47.559 --> 00:00:48.881
causation,

00:00:48.981 --> 00:00:49.984
defense,

00:00:50.084 --> 00:00:51.449
and deadline.

00:00:51.749 --> 00:00:56.848
Public-contractor speech protection and
False Claims Act retaliation rules can

00:00:56.948 --> 00:00:59.828
apply in qualifying circumstances,

00:00:59.928 --> 00:01:02.104
but neither is automatic.

00:01:02.404 --> 00:01:05.689
Taxpayer review requires the same
discipline.

00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:08.059
Trace the appropriation,

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.759
funding stream,

00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:11.565
authorization,

00:01:11.665 --> 00:01:12.519
claim,

00:01:12.619 --> 00:01:13.685
payment,

00:01:13.785 --> 00:01:15.385
promised service,

00:01:15.485 --> 00:01:17.171
delivered service,

00:01:17.271 --> 00:01:19.148
and human outcome.

00:01:19.448 --> 00:01:21.475
Use source documents,

00:01:21.575 --> 00:01:23.004
not labels.

00:01:23.304 --> 00:01:28.147
The archive at david-medeiros.com
presents records for review.

00:01:28.447 --> 00:01:30.729
It does not replace an audit,

00:01:30.829 --> 00:01:32.451
adjudication,

00:01:32.551 --> 00:01:35.089
or qualified legal analysis.
