Truth and Solutions: Survivors Driving Historic Change for Humanity in the United States DB.42.131.Inf. Truth and Solutions: A Historic Movement Led by Survivors for the Greatest Good In a world increasingly shaped by systemic challenges, one movement stands apart—not for its fight, but for its historic achievements and unwavering commitment to solutions. This is the story of brain injury survivors, their families, and their advocates who are redefining resilience and humanity in the United States. By addressing critical issues in Medicaid reform, ADA compliance, and systemic transparency, they are leading a transformative movement that will benefit generations to come. A Historic Achievement Rooted in Humanity At its core, this movement is about discovering truth and implementing real solutions to create a better world for all. These survivors have realized their struggles are not theirs alone. Their challenges reflect systemic failures that touch millions—families, seniors, children, and every person who has ever depended on a just and functional system. But here’s the remarkable part: these individuals, driven by their compassion and love for humanity, are choosing to act not just for themselves but for all of us. David Medeiros, founder of ABI Resources and himself a brain injury survivor, sums it up perfectly: "I am, you are, we are one amazing force for the greatest good of humanity." David doesn't see himself as the hero of this story—he gives all the credit to the people who inspire, teach, and empower him daily. It’s their drive, compassion, and unyielding pursuit of a better world that fuels this extraordinary movement. The Survivors: Leading a Movement for Humanity These are not just survivors—they are visionaries. They have turned their lived experiences into actionable steps for reform. Every day, these families and their advocates face barriers most people couldn’t imagine: Systemic Inefficiencies : The Medicaid system, intended to be a safety net, is riddled with bureaucratic delays, secrecy, and misuse of funds. Instead of serving the people, it often serves itself. ADA Noncompliance : Despite decades of progress, many systems and facilities fail to meet accessibility standards, leaving vulnerable individuals excluded and unsupported. Lack of Transparency : Government agencies frequently withhold critical information, perpetuating cycles of confusion and inefficiency. Whistleblower Retaliation : Those who speak out to improve the system are often met with silence or punishment, creating a culture of fear. But rather than focusing on these obstacles, the movement turns its energy toward solutions. Solutions in Action: What Sets This Movement Apart Medicaid Transparency Survivors and advocates are using tools like the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to uncover inefficiencies and redirect resources to those in need. They propose independent oversight committees, public reporting requirements, and community engagement initiatives to ensure funds are spent ethically and effectively. ADA Compliance Advocates are pushing for enhanced enforcement mechanisms, accessibility training programs, and the adoption of universal design principles. These measures will not only improve lives but also create a more inclusive society for everyone. Empowering Whistleblowers This movement is calling for secure reporting channels, expanded legal protections, and recognition programs for those who expose wrongdoing. By protecting truth-tellers, they ensure that accountability becomes a cornerstone of systemic reform. David Medeiros: A Force for the Greatest Good David Medeiros’s leadership is not about standing above others but standing with them. He understands the struggles because he has lived them. David’s role as the founder of ABI Resources is not one of accolades or recognition—it’s a role of empowerment, guided by the belief that everyone has a part to play in creating a better world. "I don’t lead; I follow the truth, and together we move mountains," David often says. Surrounded by survivors who inspire him daily, David channels their courage, resilience, and unyielding determination into actionable change. He is proof that when driven by purpose, even the most challenging paths can lead to transformative achievements. A Vision for the Future This movement isn’t just about fixing broken systems; it’s about creating a future where dignity, compassion, and justice are non-negotiable. It’s about families and communities standing together to ensure no one is left behind. By aligning their efforts with truth and accountability, these survivors and their advocates are setting the foundation for a more equitable and transparent system. For Families : A world where children with disabilities are supported, not sidelined. For Taxpayers : A government that operates with transparency and integrity. For the Future : A society where everyone has access to the services and support they deserve. Why This Movement Matters to You This movement is more than a call to action—it’s a historic achievement for humanity. It demonstrates the power of truth, unity, and solutions to create lasting change. The survivors and advocates leading this charge are proof that real people, even strangers, care deeply about you and the future of our nation. Their work is building a better life for generations to come, showing that success is effortless when truth is revealed. Be Part of the Movement This isn’t just their story—it’s ours.

Advocates Outraged as Connecticut Appropriations Committee Cathy Osten Silences Whistleblower David Medeiros on Federal Funding Medicaid and Vulnerable Populations Hartford, CT CGA Advocates Outraged as Connecticut Appropriations Committee Silences Whistleblower David Medeiros on Medicaid and Vulnerable Populations Hartford, CT  — Outrage is sweeping through the advocacy community following recent events in Connecticut’s General Assembly, where Cathy Osten , the head of the Appropriations Committee , reportedly silenced human rights activist and whistleblower David Medeiros  during a public hearing. Advocates and families across the United States have expressed frustration, calling it a violation of free speech  and due process , and decrying it as an unacceptable attempt to suppress crucial information regarding the use of federal Medicaid funds  meant for vulnerable populations. David Medeiros, a vocal advocate for transparency and human rights in government programs, was scheduled to address critical issues affecting Connecticut’s Medicaid-funded services at the public hearing. These issues include long-standing delays in care, declining service quality, and potential mismanagement within the Department of Social Services (DSS)  that has left thousands of vulnerable residents without the support they need. But according to those present, Cathy Osten refused to allow Medeiros to fully present his findings, denying him and other Appropriations Committee members the opportunity to ask questions about his testimony. National and Statewide Outcry Over Free Speech Suppression Advocates are calling the incident a direct violation of whistleblower rights  and an affront to public transparency . The General Assembly was presented with these concerns in 2023, yet advocates say the issues remain largely ignored. National human rights organizations and advocates from across the country are questioning how the Connecticut General Assembly (CGA) could allow such an infringement on free speech and due process to occur, particularly in a public forum meant to discuss the welfare of vulnerable populations. “David Medeiros’ testimony was not just important—it was essential for shedding light on systemic issues within Connecticut’s Medicaid programs,” say national advocacy groups. “By silencing his voice, Cathy Osten and the CGA have shown a disregard for the public’s right to hear the truth about federal funds and how they’re being managed.” Concerns Over Missing Key Figures, Including DSS Commissioner Andrea Barton Reeves Adding fuel to the outrage was the absence of DSS Commissioner Andrea Barton Reeves  from the hearing. Advocates and families had hoped to gain insights into the Department’s handling of Medicaid programs, especially given widespread complaints about excessive wait times and service limitations. DSS’s lack of representation at the hearing, coupled with Commissioner Barton Reeves’ absence, has left many feeling that the agency is avoiding accountability for issues that impact Connecticut’s most vulnerable. Furthermore, advocates note that DSS representatives present at the hearing were unable to provide adequate information or updates on ongoing issues within Medicaid-funded programs. This lack of preparedness and transparency has only intensified advocates' frustrations, with many questioning whether DSS is committed to reforming its services. A History of Ignoring Systemic Issues Advocates highlight that the Connecticut General Assembly’s Appropriations Committee has been aware of these systemic issues for nearly 30 years. Despite acknowledgment of persistent challenges within DSS-managed programs, advocates argue that there has been little action to address or resolve these issues. Families, service providers, and advocates view this inaction as a failure of leadership, with Cathy Osten’s refusal to allow David Medeiros to speak only adding to the perception of a culture of suppression within the CGA. “People have waited far too long for real change,” say a national advocacy groups. “To silence someone who’s speaking on behalf of vulnerable individuals and families undermines everything that public service stands for.” Appropriations Committee Members were Denied the Right to Question Medeiros In addition to silencing Medeiros, Osten reportedly barred other members of the Appropriations Committee from questioning him, further stifling open discussion on issues central to the hearing. This move has sparked criticism from other committee members who felt that Medeiros’ insights would have been valuable for understanding the extent of issues within Medicaid-funded programs and DSS. According to sources, multiple representatives were prepared to ask Medeiros questions about his findings and recommendations for addressing the misuse of federal funds and improving services for vulnerable populations. Osten’s refusal to allow these questions has been interpreted by many as an attempt to shield DSS and the CGA from accountability. Advocates Demand Accountability and Federal Oversight The handling of the hearing has led advocates to call for federal oversight of Connecticut’s Medicaid programs. Many are urging national agencies, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) , to investigate potential mismanagement and ensure that federal funds are used appropriately and transparently. “It’s time for federal intervention,” stated a Connecticut-based advocate. “The people of Connecticut deserve to know how their taxpayer dollars are being spent, and the families relying on Medicaid services deserve better than years of inaction and suppression of critical information.” Public Trust at Risk The actions taken by Cathy Osten and the Connecticut General Assembly’s Appropriations Committee have raised serious concerns about transparency and accountability  within state leadership. As news of the hearing spreads, many worry that these events will erode public trust in Connecticut’s legislative processes and hinder efforts to improve Medicaid-funded services. Families, providers, and advocates are now left questioning whether their voices will ever be heard, as they continue to call on the CGA to prioritize accountability and provide meaningful solutions for the individuals and families most impacted by Connecticut’s Medicaid programs. A Call for Real Change Advocates nationwide are demanding that Connecticut’s leaders uphold the rights of whistleblowers and protect free speech in public forums, especially when discussing issues that impact vulnerable communities and federal funding. They are also calling on federal agencies to investigate Connecticut’s DSS programs and ensure that taxpayer dollars are used responsibly. The message is clear: transparency, accountability, and public trust must be at the forefront of Connecticut’s Medicaid programs, and no voice speaking out for these values should ever be silenced. We’re sharing an important message about systemic issues within Medicaid programs that may be impacting both vulnerable populations and every U.S. taxpayer. These challenges could have nationwide implications, affecting how federal dollars are spent and how services reach those who rely on Medicaid. This is not about assigning blame —it’s about finding solutions that ensure taxpayer dollars are used wisely and that vulnerable individuals get the care they need. By working together, we can help create a more transparent, accountable, and effective Medicaid system that benefits everyone. Key Problems and Solutions: Misuse of Taxpayer Funds Problem: Federal Medicaid funds are being inefficiently used, which can increase costs for taxpayers while reducing the quality of services for vulnerable individuals. Solution: Conduct regular audits of Medicaid spending to ensure that every dollar is used efficiently to support essential services and avoid waste or misallocation. Lack of Transparency Problem: Essential information about Medicaid services—such as provider directories and funding allocations—is not easily accessible to the public. This lack of transparency prevents people from understanding how funds are being used and how care decisions are made. Solution: Ensure greater transparency by making Medicaid-related information, including provider directories and spending reports, publicly accessible. This will allow taxpayers, caregivers, and advocates to see where resources are going and hold the system accountable. Unethical Business Practices Problem: Some providers may be engaging in conflicts of interest or kickback schemes, where services are being recommended for financial gain rather than the needs of individuals. This drives up costs and reduces the quality of care. Solution: Implement strict ethical oversight to ensure that Medicaid services are provided based on the needs of individuals, without conflicts of interest or unnecessary services that increase costs for taxpayers. Discriminatory Business Practices in Medicaid Referrals Problem: Certain providers may be favored in Medicaid referrals, limiting access to care for individuals and creating an unequal playing field for providers. This impacts the freedom of individuals to choose the care that best fits their needs. Solution: Establish a fair and transparent referral system that treats all providers equally and ensures that individuals have access to a wide range of care options, promoting both choice and competition. Impact on Disabled Workers Problem: Disabled workers involved in the Medicaid system are not always being paid fairly, which violates federal labor laws and creates further economic challenges for an already vulnerable group. Solution: Ensure compliance with federal labor laws by guaranteeing that all disabled workers are paid fairly and treated with respect, helping create a more supportive and ethical Medicaid system. Limited Consumer Choice Problem: Some individuals are limited in their ability to choose services or housing arrangements, being tied to specific providers through restrictive agreements. This reduces their freedom to select the care and services that best suit their needs. Solution: Expand consumer choice by revising policies that restrict beneficiaries to certain providers or housing options, allowing individuals more freedom to select the services and care arrangements that work best for them. FOIA Violations and Stonewalling Problem: Public records requests related to Medicaid services and spending are being blocked or delayed, limiting public oversight and reducing accountability within the system. Solution: Enforce full compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to ensure that the public has access to important Medicaid information. This will allow for greater transparency and ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used properly. Unauthorized Care Management Services Problem: Some individuals are receiving services that have not been authorized or properly managed, leading to confusion and potential misuse of Medicaid funds. Solution: Ensure proper oversight and clear guidelines for care management services, preventing unauthorized services and ensuring that individuals receive only the care that is necessary and beneficial to them. Unfair Rental Agreements Linked to Medicaid Services Problem: Some beneficiaries are tied to specific housing arrangements through rental agreements that are linked to their Medicaid service providers, reducing their ability to change providers or housing without risking their care. Solution: Revise rental agreements and housing policies to ensure greater consumer freedom and allow individuals to change providers or housing arrangements without being penalized or risking their care. How These Issues Affect All of Us: These problems extend beyond any one state—they have national implications for how Medicaid funds are spent and how care is provided. Every taxpayer contributes to Medicaid, and it’s essential that these funds are used efficiently and transparently. At the same time, vulnerable populations—including individuals with disabilities and those relying on Medicaid services—deserve a system that works for them. By addressing these systemic challenges, we can ensure that taxpayer dollars are used wisely and that those who need support get access to the care and services they deserve. What You Can Do: Share this post to raise awareness and encourage others to understand how these issues might be affecting them and their communities. Support greater transparency and ethical oversight in Medicaid services by engaging with policymakers. Advocate for positive reform to ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively and that vulnerable individuals get the care they need. Together, we can help create a Medicaid system that benefits everyone—by ensuring accountability, promoting transparency, and protecting taxpayer resources while supporting those who rely on these essential services. What Happens When You Lose Medicaid Insurance? Medicaid is essential for many families. If it’s taken away or you lose it, it can lead to serious problems for you, your family, and even your entire community. Here’s what happens: You Can’t See the Doctor When You Need To You Delay Care : You might put off going to the doctor because you can’t afford it. Small problems can turn into big ones. No More Preventive Check-ups : Without Medicaid, you might skip regular check-ups that help catch problems early. You Can’t Afford Medications Stopping Medication : People stop taking important medications (for conditions like diabetes, mental health issues, or high blood pressure) because they can’t pay for them. Getting Worse : Without those meds, your health can get worse quickly, leading to hospital visits or even life-threatening conditions. Mental Health Suffers Stopping Therapy : Mental health services, like therapy or counseling, can get too expensive, meaning people can no longer get help for anxiety, depression, or other issues. Emotional Stress : Without professional help, mental health issues can become overwhelming, leading to stress, breakdowns, and even suicidal thoughts. Risk of Homelessness Increases Losing Your Job : If your health gets worse, you may not be able to work, leading to job loss and financial problems. Can’t Pay for Housing : Medical bills pile up, and without income, you might not be able to pay rent or the mortgage, which can lead to losing your home. Families Can Be Affected : It’s not just individuals who suffer—entire families can end up in shelters or homeless because of high medical costs. Emergency Rooms Get Overcrowded Using ER as a Doctor’s Office : People without insurance often wait until they are very sick and then go to the ER, which is much more expensive than regular care. More Stress on Hospitals : Hospitals can get overwhelmed, and this affects everyone. It means longer wait times and less attention for those who really need emergency care. Crime Can Increase Desperation Leads to Survival Crimes : When people are financially desperate due to health issues, some may turn to petty crime just to survive. Substance Abuse : Losing mental health care can lead to drug or alcohol use to cope, and this often leads to trouble with the law. Homelessness and Crime Connection : When people lose their homes and can’t get help, they may be more likely to get involved in crime just to meet basic needs. Your Community Suffers Spread of Illness : Without insurance, people may not get vaccinated or treated for contagious diseases, which can make the entire community sick. Public Services Overloaded : Charities, shelters, and food banks may get overwhelmed by more people needing help, making it harder to serve everyone. Fewer Resources for Everyone : When hospitals, clinics, and public health services are stretched too thin, everyone gets worse care. Children Are Affected Missed Vaccines and Checkups : Kids without Medicaid miss important vaccines and doctor visits, putting their health and development at risk. Struggling in School : Without proper healthcare, children may fall behind in school because of untreated health problems or stress at home due to financial instability. Long-Term Poverty Medical Debt : Without Medicaid, medical bills pile up, and families can end up with huge debt, making it hard to afford basic needs like food and housing. Generational Impact : Families in debt or struggling with health issues have a harder time getting out of poverty, and this can affect future generations. Losing Medicaid isn’t just about losing insurance; it’s about losing stability in your life. Without access to healthcare, everything starts to break down—your health, your ability to work, your family’s security, and the community’s well-being. It can even lead to more crime and homelessness as people struggle just to survive. What Can You Do? Stay Informed : Know your options and stay connected to advocacy groups that support for healthcare rights. Ask for Help : Reach out to community health centers, legal aid, and nonprofits that offer support. Get Involved : Support policies that ensure everyone has access to affordable healthcare. When people lose Medicaid insurance, the effects also significantly impact taxpayers  and the overall economy. Here’s a breakdown of how this burden shifts onto taxpayers and why it's important for everyone, even those with insurance, to understand these consequences. Increased Emergency Room Costs (Taxpayer-Funded) ER Becomes the First Stop:  When people without insurance get sick or injured, they often wait until it’s serious and go to the emergency room (ER), which is far more expensive than regular doctor visits. Higher Costs Passed to Taxpayers:  ER visits are one of the most expensive ways to treat medical issues, and when uninsured patients can't pay their bills, the hospital absorbs the costs. These costs are often passed on to taxpayers  through increased funding needs for hospitals and public healthcare programs. Higher Local and State Taxes for Public Services Overloaded Public Health Systems:  Local and state governments are forced to provide more funding for free clinics, public health programs, shelters, and emergency services when there’s an increase in uninsured people. This leads to higher taxes to cover these services. Community Resources Stretched Thin:  When uninsured people need more help from publicly funded services like shelters, food banks, and healthcare clinics, these services require more taxpayer dollars to stay operational. As more people rely on these programs, the costs to taxpayers grow. Higher Insurance Premiums for Everyone Cost-Shifting in Healthcare:  Hospitals often shift the unpaid medical costs of uninsured patients onto private insurers. This drives up the overall cost of healthcare for those who do have insurance. Rising Insurance Premiums:  As healthcare providers raise prices to compensate for uninsured patients, taxpayers  who buy insurance in the private market may see their premiums go up. This makes healthcare more expensive for everyone, even those who already pay for private insurance. Increased Government Spending on Medicaid Expansion and Safety Nets Government Must Step In:  When people lose Medicaid, they still often need some form of public assistance. Governments may have to increase spending on Medicaid expansion, safety net programs, or even adjust the Medicaid qualifications to help more people. This means more public spending, which comes from taxpayer money. Taxpayer-Funded Subsidies:  In some cases, state and federal governments have to provide subsidies for health insurance, and when more people qualify due to losing Medicaid, these costs come from taxpayer funds. Higher Costs for the Criminal Justice System More People in Jail:  As explained earlier, loss of health insurance can lead to an increase in crime, especially as people turn to petty crimes for survival or get involved in substance abuse. This puts more strain on the criminal justice system, which is heavily funded by taxpayer dollars . Mental Health and Substance Abuse in Jail:  Many people end up in jail because they don’t have access to mental health or substance abuse treatment. Once in jail, taxpayers must cover the costs of healthcare, housing, and legal processing for these individuals. It’s far more expensive to treat someone in jail than it is to provide preventive care in the community. Increased Unemployment and Welfare Costs Job Loss Leads to Public Assistance Needs:  Without insurance, people’s health often deteriorates, making it hard for them to work. This can lead to job loss and more people relying on welfare programs like unemployment benefits, food stamps, and housing assistance—all of which are funded by taxpayers . Economic Downturn in Communities:  When many people lose their jobs due to poor health and medical debt, the local economy suffers. This can reduce tax revenue from income and sales taxes, while increasing the demand for public support programs. Public Health Crises Require Taxpayer Funding Spread of Diseases : When people don’t have insurance, they often skip vaccinations and preventive care, which can lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases. Taxpayers  end up footing the bill for public health campaigns, disease control efforts, and emergency healthcare interventions during these outbreaks. Community Health Declines : A sicker population puts more strain on public health resources, requiring more public health spending, which comes from local, state, and federal taxpayer funds. Increased Medical Debt Burden on the Economy Economic Instability for Families:  When families accumulate medical debt, they have less money to spend in the local economy. This reduces consumer spending and harms businesses, leading to lower tax revenue from sales taxes. Long-Term Poverty and Dependence on Government Support:  As more families fall into long-term poverty due to medical debt, they become dependent on government assistance programs. Taxpayers  must contribute more to welfare programs, public housing, and food assistance. Loss of Workforce Productivity and Tax Revenue Reduced Workforce Participation:  As people become sicker without access to healthcare, they are less able to work, leading to a reduction in workforce productivity. Lower Tax Revenues:  When fewer people are able to work due to poor health or job loss, there’s a drop in income tax revenues. This means fewer funds are available for important public services, which can lead to higher taxes for everyone else to cover the shortfall. Losing Medicaid doesn’t just hurt the people directly affected—it shifts the burden onto taxpayers  in many ways. The costs of emergency healthcare, public services, criminal justice, welfare programs, and economic downturns all end up being paid for by you , the taxpayer. By ensuring that people maintain access to Medicaid, we can prevent these problems from spiraling out of control and costing everyone more in the long run.

Medicaid ABI ADA CIVIL RIGHTS DOGE unity and historic achievements in America David Medeiros Whistleblower "Unveiling Systemic Failures: A Call for Transparency in Medicaid Oversight and ADA Enforcement" Introduction The Medicaid system and ADA enforcement mechanisms are pillars of support for millions of Americans. However, recent FOIA requests have unveiled critical gaps in oversight, compliance, and protections for whistleblowers who expose these issues. These failures are not just administrative missteps—they impact lives, erode trust, and undermine justice. This campaign aims to shed light on systemic accountability and demand meaningful change. Why This Matters Medicaid Oversight Failures : Billions of dollars in public funds are allocated to Medicaid annually. Poor oversight allows inefficiency and fraud to go unchecked, depriving vulnerable populations of essential services. ADA Enforcement : Americans with disabilities face systemic barriers due to lack of proper enforcement. Noncompliance leaves individuals marginalized and denied equitable access. Whistleblower Retaliation : Courageous individuals reporting these failures often face retaliation, further perpetuating the culture of silence. Examples Highlighted in FOIA Requests Evidence of inadequate Medicaid billing reviews and ADA noncompliance. Patterns of retaliation against entities like ABI Resources for exposing systemic failures. Lack of timely responses and transparency from federal and state agencies. The Human Cost Behind every bureaucratic failure lies a human story—of denied care, institutional neglect, and lives interrupted. Advocacy efforts focus on those silenced by systemic inequities. Call to Action Demand Accountability :We urge policymakers, agencies, and the public to prioritize: Full Compliance with ADA Standards : Ensure accessibility and equity for all Americans. Strengthened Medicaid Oversight : Implement rigorous audit mechanisms and enforce corrective action. Protections for Whistleblowers : Safeguard individuals exposing fraud and abuse from retaliation. How You Can Help: Share this story: Amplify the voices demanding transparency. Support advocacy organizations: Contribute to efforts pushing for policy reforms. Contact your representatives: Advocate for legislative changes to strengthen oversight mechanisms. Conclusion Transparency and accountability are cornerstones of democracy. Together, we can push for a system that serves the people equitably, ensuring justice for those who need it most.

What I’m about to share isn’t just an idea—it’s a challenge. A call to step up, take action, and create something better. This is The Noble Path to Justice: Awakening Compassion and Restoring Balance. It’s not about pointing fingers or playing the blame game. It’s about rolling up our sleeves, tackling what’s broken, and building systems that actually work. It’s about making justice real—not as a slogan, but as something that shows up in the decisions we make, the policies we design, and the way we treat people every single day. A Broken System Demands Action Imagine this: You’re stuck in a maze. Every turn looks promising, but it leads you right back to where you started. Frustrating, right? Now imagine that maze is your life—your daily reality—because the systems meant to help you are confusing, inefficient, and broken. That’s what millions of families living with disabilities, trauma, and poverty face every day. They’re not asking for a handout. They’re asking for fairness, dignity, and a chance to succeed. Here’s the hard truth: every delay, every wasted dollar, every broken promise adds to their struggle. It’s a human cost we can’t afford to ignore. The Real Impact Let’s make this personal: Parents , juggling work and caregiving, desperate for resources they can’t access. Veterans , people who gave everything, stuck in endless waits for the care they’ve earned. Seniors , left to navigate a system that treats them as an afterthought instead of as people who deserve respect and dignity. These aren’t just numbers or abstract problems. These are real lives. And if we want to fix this, we have to stop waiting for someone else to lead the way. Change Starts With Us Real transformation doesn’t come from policies on paper. It comes from people—people who are willing to take action. That starts with compassion—not as a vague ideal, but as a guiding principle for how we design systems and solve problems. We don’t need more red tape. We need results. Systems built on justice, fairness, and accessibility—systems that deliver for everyone . How We Get There Here’s what needs to happen: Radical Transparency : No more guesswork. Show exactly how resources are being used and make every dollar count. Accessibility for All : Enforce ADA compliance and create systems that are simple, clear, and inclusive. Everyone deserves a fair shot. Empowered Education : Equip families with the tools and knowledge to navigate systems and advocate for what they need. Community Support : Build networks where people can share resources, experiences, and solutions. Together, we’re stronger. Accountability at the Top : Hold decision-makers to the highest standards. If the system isn’t working, fix it—period. A Clearer Vision Imagine this: A world where children get the care they need to thrive, without their parents having to fight for it. A world where veterans receive the support they deserve, when they need it. A world where seniors live with dignity, knowing they’re valued. This isn’t wishful thinking. This is what happens when systems are designed to work the way they’re supposed to—efficiently, fairly, and with people in mind. It’s Time to Act This is your moment. Not to wait. Not to hope someone else steps up. But to decide that you’re going to be part of the solution. Because here’s the truth: nothing changes unless we make it change. The Noble Path isn’t just an idea—it’s a commitment to building better systems, solving real problems, and making sure that no one gets left behind. Let’s focus on what matters. Let’s take practical steps that deliver real results. And let’s create a future where justice and compassion aren’t just ideals—they’re everyday realities. It starts now. It starts with us. Let’s make it happen.

meaningful change to systemic challenges in disability services and Medicaid programs. At the federal level, officials like Xavier Becerra  (HHS) and Chiquita Brooks-LaSure  (CMS) oversee Medicaid compliance, ensuring that federal funds are used as intended to support vulnerable populations. Their intervention can drive accountability and enforce corrective measures across state-administered programs. Kristen Clarke  (DOJ Civil Rights Division) and Michael Horowitz  (DOJ Inspector General) can investigate violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and expose misuse of federal funds, ensuring justice for marginalized communities. Meanwhile, Gene Dodaro  (GAO) provides oversight on financial management, auditing programs to uncover inefficiencies and corruption. On the state level, leaders like Ned Lamont  (Governor) and Andrea Barton Reeves  (DSS Commissioner) have direct control over Connecticut’s Medicaid policies and operations. Their commitment to transparency and fair allocation of funds is essential to correcting systemic inequities. William Tong  (Attorney General) can enforce compliance with both federal and state laws, including FOIA and ADA mandates, ensuring that agencies operate with integrity. Additionally, Manisha Juthani  (DPH Commissioner) and Jeffrey Beckham  (OPM Secretary) play pivotal roles in overseeing public health outcomes and aligning state budgets with federal funding requirements. Together, these individuals represent the power to correct injustices, restore balance to mismanaged systems, and ensure that federal funds serve the people they were meant to help. Their collective action is critical to creating a system rooted in dignity, equity, and justice.

March 21 2023 Medicaid referral fraud is illegal and punishable by fines and imprisonment. The government has taken steps to crack down on this type of fraud through enforcement actions by the Department of Justice and the Office of Inspector General. It is important for healthcare providers, patients, and the general public to be aware of the signs of Medicaid referral fraud and to report any suspected instances of fraud to the appropriate authorities. The law is beneficial in protecting brain injury, TBI, and stroke survivors enrolled in Medicaid programs from Medicaid referral fraud for several reasons: Holding fraudsters accountable: The law serves as a deterrent against Medicaid referral fraud by holding individuals and companies that engage in this type of fraud accountable. This can include fines, imprisonment, and exclusion from government healthcare programs. Protecting people: The law helps protect people, including brain injury, TBI, and stroke survivors, from receiving substandard care or unnecessary treatments. It ensures that these people receive the necessary care and treatments based on their medical needs, rather than the financial interests of healthcare providers. Maintaining the integrity of the healthcare system: By cracking down on Medicaid referral fraud, the law helps maintain the integrity of the healthcare system and ensures that taxpayer dollars are used for their intended purpose: to provide necessary and quality care to those in need. Encouraging transparency: The law promotes transparency in the healthcare system by requiring healthcare providers to disclose any financial relationships they have with other providers or companies. This helps to prevent conflicts of interest and ensures that people receive care based on their medical needs. The law is an important tool in protecting brain injury, TBI, and stroke survivors enrolled in Medicaid programs from Medicaid referral fraud. It helps to ensure that people receive necessary and quality care, and that the integrity of the healthcare system is maintained. The negative impact of Medicaid referral fraud on brain injury, TBI, and stroke survivors enrolled in Medicaid programs can be significant. Here are some ways in which this type of fraud can have a detrimental effect: Reduced quality of care: When healthcare providers are motivated by illegal kickbacks and bribes, they may not provide the best care to clients. This can result in substandard medical treatment and potentially worsen the condition of brain injury, TBI, and stroke survivors. Increased healthcare costs: Medicaid referral fraud drives up healthcare costs for both clients and taxpayers, which can be particularly problematic for brain injury, TBI, and stroke survivors who may already be facing significant medical expenses. Reduced access to care: When healthcare providers engage in referral fraud, they may limit the options available to brain injury, TBI, and stroke survivors, making it more difficult for them to access the care they need. Unnecessary treatments and procedures: People who are referred for fraudulent reasons may end up receiving treatments or procedures that are not necessary or beneficial, which can result in further medical complications and increase their recovery time. In conclusion, Medicaid referral fraud can have serious consequences for brain injury, TBI, and stroke survivors enrolled in Medicaid programs, and it is important to take steps to prevent and detect this type of fraud in order to ensure that people receive the high-quality care they need and deserve.

05/02/2023 The Money Follows the Person (MFP) and Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver programs in Connecticut are designed to provide rehabilitative home and community services, including life skills training for individuals recovering from various disabilities. However, concerns have been raised that those recovering at slower paces are being left behind and placed in day groups, with life skills training being overlooked. Why is this happening and could the consulting care management pay rate of $2,600 be a contributing factor? One possible reason for this issue is the prioritization of resources. With limited funding available, it can be challenging for care providers to allocate resources evenly. Is the pay rate for consulting care management taking away from life skills funding? It is essential to assess if the current funding model is sustainable and if alternative approaches could better support all People. Furthermore, assessing the effectiveness of life skills training should be a top priority. Are the current assessment methods sufficient in identifying the needs of individuals recovering at a slower pace? Providing adequate support for these People may require a reevaluation of the existing assessment processes and a more tailored approach to service delivery. In conclusion, while the MFP and ABI Waiver programs are designed to provide vital rehabilitative services, addressing the concerns of those recovering at a slower pace requires a careful examination of resource allocation, assessment processes, and service delivery. ____________________________ Are They Leaving People with Slower Recovery Behind?

Advocacy Request for Brain Injury Survivors in Connecticut. April 2023 Dear Governor Ned Lamont, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to respectfully request your advocacy support regarding a pressing issue that is impacting individuals and families living with brain injuries in Connecticut who rely on federally funded programs. Specifically, individuals using federally funded programs such as the Money Follows the Person (MFP) Program and the Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program may be facing limited access to available services due to what may appear to be covert referral practices by Connecticut contracted care management agencies. This issue significantly reduces the full access of thousands of disabled Medicaid consumers of federally funded services. As an organization dedicated to promoting full equal access to care for people with disabilities, I am reaching out to request your assistance in investigating this matter and guiding appropriate actions to ensure that people with disabilities receive the necessary resources and services. The negative impact of limited access to care for brain injury survivors is significant and cannot be ignored, potentially resulting in delayed recovery, increased health risks, reduced quality of life, financial burden, and mental health consequences. Furthermore, I would like to express concerns regarding how this situation may negatively impact federal funding and increase healthcare expenses. Limited access to necessary care could not only place an additional financial strain on Connecticut and its citizens but also jeopardize the state's ability to secure much-needed federal support for these programs in the future. It is widely acknowledged that care managers play a crucial role in providing high-quality care to consumers with disabilities. However, recent evidence suggests that the current workload faced by care managers far exceeds what is necessary for consumers' health and well-being. This puts an enormous strain on care managers, who may be responsible for as many as 40 consumers at a time, making it increasingly challenging to provide ethical, professional care that is person-centered and in line with the rights of disabled people. Care managers are essential professionals who work tirelessly to ensure that consumers receive the care and support they need to live fulfilling lives. However, when their workload is too heavy, the quality of care they can provide suffers, leading to ethical concerns and potential neglect of consumers' needs. It is essential to acknowledge the challenges faced by care managers and to take steps to alleviate their workload. By reducing the number of consumers assigned to each care manager, we can ensure that the care provided is of the highest quality and aligns with the principles of person-centered care and the rights of disabled people. This will also benefit care managers, who will be better able to manage their workload and provide the care they are trained to provide. Therefore, I respectfully request that you use your influence to address this issue and ensure care management transparency and accessibility to the practices of federally funded referrals. Would you please ensure individuals with disabilities have full access to all available resources and services they are entitled to? Your advocacy on this matter would make a significant difference in addressing this issue in a fair and unbiased manner. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to protecting the rights of individuals with disabilities. Your continued efforts to promote equality and access to necessary resources and services are invaluable.

Persist in neglecting the matter and refraining from offering any pertinent information. Title: Alleged Discrimination at Connecticut Community Care Inc. Calls for Internal Investigation On August 1, 2022, ABI Resources, a provider of services for individuals with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) under the Medicaid ABI Waiver Program, submitted a formal inquiry and request for an internal investigation into an incident that took place on July 25, 2022, involving Connecticut Community Care Inc. (CCC), a care management organization in Bristol, Connecticut. The incident in question raises concerns about potential discrimination and a violation of the ethical principles of person-centered care that CCC is expected to uphold. The Medicaid ABI Waiver Program is designed to support people with acquired brain injuries, allowing them to live in the community and avoid institutionalization. This program is overseen by the Connecticut Department of Social Services and adheres to strict guidelines and protocols to ensure the welfare and dignity of its beneficiaries. The incident on July 25, 2022, involved CCC manager Doreen Andrew directing the immediate removal of ABI Resources' support services for a Willington consumer without prior notice. The directive was sent to an ABI Resources Program Support Manager via text message at 8:00 am, leaving the consumer without adequate support and potentially violating the regulations of the Medicaid ABI Waiver Program. ABI Resources has voiced their concern that the actions taken by CCC and Doreen Andrew may conflict with the program's regulations and contradict the values and mission of ethical person-centered care that Connecticut Community Care claims to champion. In response to these concerns, ABI Resources has formally requested an internal investigation by CCC to determine if discrimination or a breach of policy occurred. This incident underscores the importance of adherence to regulations, transparent communication, and ethical practices in the provision of services for vulnerable individuals. It is essential for care management organizations like CCC to thoroughly investigate any allegations of discrimination or policy violations to maintain the trust and confidence of the communities they serve. The outcome of the internal investigation will be crucial in determining if any wrongdoing occurred and if corrective measures need to be taken to ensure that the rights and dignity of those under the care of Connecticut Community Care Inc. are protected. As the investigation unfolds, it is imperative that all parties involved prioritize the welfare of the consumer and uphold the highest standards of care in their practices.

MFP and ABI Waiver Programs Freedom of Information Act Request - Connecticut ABI 1549P Consultation Services Funding. Navigating Accountability and Ethical Practices in Health Care: A Closer Look at Connecticut Community Care In recent events surrounding Connecticut Community Care Inc. (CCC), concerns have been raised that underline the critical importance of transparency, ethical conduct, and adherence to regulations within health care organizations, particularly those involved in managing care for vulnerable populations such as individuals with Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI). This matter not only calls for an introspective examination of CCC's operational ethics but also spotlights the broader implications for Medicaid-funded programs and the principles of person-centered care. The Incident and Its Implications On July 25, 2022, an incident involving CCC's managerial decision to abruptly terminate ABI Resources' support services for a consumer in Willington, Connecticut, without prior notice, came to light. The communication of this directive through a mere text message, as early as 8:00 am, left the individual without necessary support, potentially breaching Medicaid ABI Waiver Program regulations and ethical standards of care. This action taken by CCC, specifically under the direction of manager Doreen Andrew, prompted ABI Resources to request an internal investigation into what they perceive as a discriminatory act against the welfare and rights of an individual under CCC's care. Such incidents raise questions about the organization's commitment to the values it purports to uphold, including ethical person-centered care and the rigorous observance of program regulations designed to protect the interests of the ABI community. The Role of Oversight and Ethical Responsibility The Medicaid ABI Waiver Program serves a critical function, enabling individuals with acquired brain injuries to live within the community rather than being institutionalized. This initiative underscores the need for strict compliance with guidelines that ensure the dignity and welfare of beneficiaries are prioritized. The request by ABI Resources for an internal review by CCC is not just a call for accountability in one instance but a reminder of the overarching responsibility that care management organizations have towards maintaining the highest ethical standards. This includes transparent communication, adherence to established protocols, and the swift rectification of any actions that may undermine the trust placed in them by the communities they serve and the regulatory bodies overseeing them. The Need for Thorough Investigation and Transparency The unfolding situation with CCC emphasizes the necessity for a comprehensive internal investigation into the alleged discriminatory actions. It is imperative that such a review be conducted with the utmost integrity, objectivity, and commitment to uncovering the truth. The outcome of this investigation will be pivotal in determining the necessary corrective measures and ensuring that such incidents do not recur, thereby safeguarding the rights and dignity of individuals under CCC's care. The incident involving Connecticut Community Care Inc . serves as a critical reminder of the importance of ethical practices, regulatory compliance, and transparency in the administration of care for vulnerable populations. As the investigation proceeds, it is crucial that all parties involved prioritize the welfare of the consumer and adhere to the highest standards of ethical care. This situation underscores the broader challenges and responsibilities faced by care management organizations in upholding the principles of person-centered care and the trust of those they serve. The commitment to addressing these concerns and implementing any required changes is essential not only for CCC but for all stakeholders involved in the care of individuals with ABIs. It is through such diligence and accountability that the integrity of Medicaid-funded programs and the welfare of its beneficiaries can be preserved and enhanced.

The ABI Waiver Program is a Medicaid program designed to provide assistance and support to individuals with acquired brain injuries (ABI). The program is participant-centered, which means that it places the individual at the center of the planning and service delivery process. Appendix D of the program's guidelines outlines the procedures for developing a service plan, with a specific focus on how participants can make informed choices about service providers. One key aspect of the service plan development process is the informed choice of providers. To ensure that participants have access to qualified providers who can meet their needs, the ABI Waiver Program contracts with a fiduciary who develops a provider listing. This listing is organized by service type and geographic coverage area and includes only providers who meet the qualifications set forth by DSS to service waiver participants. Case managers are responsible for sharing this provider listing with participants and facilitating opportunities for them to speak with and/or interview prospective providers prior to selection. In addition, participants are able to contact the fiscal intermediary to get an updated and customized listing of the provider directory. For household employees, a background check is conducted by the fiscal intermediary, and the results are shared with the consumer to aid in their selection. This ensures that participants are able to make informed choices about the providers who will be working in their homes and providing them with care and support. Overall, the ABI Waiver Program's participant-centered approach to service plan development and provider selection is designed to empower individuals with ABI to make informed choices about the services they receive and the providers who deliver them. By providing access to a qualified pool of providers and facilitating opportunities for participants to interact with them directly, the program aims to improve the quality of care and support provided to individuals with ABI.

DB.42.131.Inf. We’re sharing an important message about systemic issues within Medicaid programs that may be impacting both vulnerable populations and every U.S. taxpayer. These challenges could have nationwide implications, affecting how federal dollars are spent and how services reach those who rely on Medicaid. This is not about assigning blame —it’s about finding solutions that ensure taxpayer dollars are used wisely and that vulnerable individuals get the care they need. By working together, we can help create a more transparent, accountable, and effective Medicaid system that benefits everyone. Key Problems and Solutions: Misuse of Taxpayer Funds Problem: Federal Medicaid funds are being inefficiently used, which can increase costs for taxpayers while reducing the quality of services for vulnerable individuals. Solution: Conduct regular audits of Medicaid spending to ensure that every dollar is used efficiently to support essential services and avoid waste or misallocation. Lack of Transparency Problem: Essential information about Medicaid services—such as provider directories and funding allocations—is not easily accessible to the public. This lack of transparency prevents people from understanding how funds are being used and how care decisions are made. Solution: Ensure greater transparency by making Medicaid-related information, including provider directories and spending reports, publicly accessible. This will allow taxpayers, caregivers, and advocates to see where resources are going and hold the system accountable. Unethical Business Practices Problem: Some providers may be engaging in conflicts of interest or kickback schemes, where services are being recommended for financial gain rather than the needs of individuals. This drives up costs and reduces the quality of care. Solution: Implement strict ethical oversight to ensure that Medicaid services are provided based on the needs of individuals, without conflicts of interest or unnecessary services that increase costs for taxpayers. Discriminatory Business Practices in Medicaid Referrals Problem: Certain providers may be favored in Medicaid referrals, limiting access to care for individuals and creating an unequal playing field for providers. This impacts the freedom of individuals to choose the care that best fits their needs. Solution: Establish a fair and transparent referral system that treats all providers equally and ensures that individuals have access to a wide range of care options, promoting both choice and competition. Impact on Disabled Workers Problem: Disabled workers involved in the Medicaid system are not always being paid fairly, which violates federal labor laws and creates further economic challenges for an already vulnerable group. Solution: Ensure compliance with federal labor laws by guaranteeing that all disabled workers are paid fairly and treated with respect, helping create a more supportive and ethical Medicaid system. Limited Consumer Choice Problem: Some individuals are limited in their ability to choose services or housing arrangements, being tied to specific providers through restrictive agreements. This reduces their freedom to select the care and services that best suit their needs. Solution: Expand consumer choice by revising policies that restrict beneficiaries to certain providers or housing options, allowing individuals more freedom to select the services and care arrangements that work best for them. FOIA Violations and Stonewalling Problem: Public records requests related to Medicaid services and spending are being blocked or delayed, limiting public oversight and reducing accountability within the system. Solution: Enforce full compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to ensure that the public has access to important Medicaid information. This will allow for greater transparency and ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used properly. Unauthorized Care Management Services Problem: Some individuals are receiving services that have not been authorized or properly managed, leading to confusion and potential misuse of Medicaid funds. Solution: Ensure proper oversight and clear guidelines for care management services, preventing unauthorized services and ensuring that individuals receive only the care that is necessary and beneficial to them. Unfair Rental Agreements Linked to Medicaid Services Problem: Some beneficiaries are tied to specific housing arrangements through rental agreements that are linked to their Medicaid service providers, reducing their ability to change providers or housing without risking their care. Solution: Revise rental agreements and housing policies to ensure greater consumer freedom and allow individuals to change providers or housing arrangements without being penalized or risking their care. How These Issues Affect All of Us: These problems extend beyond any one state—they have national implications for how Medicaid funds are spent and how care is provided. Every taxpayer contributes to Medicaid, and it’s essential that these funds are used efficiently and transparently. At the same time, vulnerable populations—including individuals with disabilities and those relying on Medicaid services—deserve a system that works for them. By addressing these systemic challenges, we can ensure that taxpayer dollars are used wisely and that those who need support get access to the care and services they deserve. What You Can Do: Share this post to raise awareness and encourage others to understand how these issues might be affecting them and their communities. Support greater transparency and ethical oversight in Medicaid services by engaging with policymakers. Advocate for positive reform to ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively and that vulnerable individuals get the care they need. Together, we can help create a Medicaid system that benefits everyone—by ensuring accountability, promoting transparency, and protecting taxpayer resources while supporting those who rely on these essential services. What Happens When You Lose Medicaid Insurance? Medicaid is essential for many families. If it’s taken away or you lose it, it can lead to serious problems for you, your family, and even your entire community. Here’s what happens: You Can’t See the Doctor When You Need To You Delay Care : You might put off going to the doctor because you can’t afford it. Small problems can turn into big ones. No More Preventive Check-ups : Without Medicaid, you might skip regular check-ups that help catch problems early. You Can’t Afford Medications Stopping Medication : People stop taking important medications (for conditions like diabetes, mental health issues, or high blood pressure) because they can’t pay for them. Getting Worse : Without those meds, your health can get worse quickly, leading to hospital visits or even life-threatening conditions. Mental Health Suffers Stopping Therapy : Mental health services, like therapy or counseling, can get too expensive, meaning people can no longer get help for anxiety, depression, or other issues. Emotional Stress : Without professional help, mental health issues can become overwhelming, leading to stress, breakdowns, and even suicidal thoughts. Risk of Homelessness Increases Losing Your Job : If your health gets worse, you may not be able to work, leading to job loss and financial problems. Can’t Pay for Housing : Medical bills pile up, and without income, you might not be able to pay rent or the mortgage, which can lead to losing your home. Families Can Be Affected : It’s not just individuals who suffer—entire families can end up in shelters or homeless because of high medical costs. Emergency Rooms Get Overcrowded Using ER as a Doctor’s Office : People without insurance often wait until they are very sick and then go to the ER, which is much more expensive than regular care. More Stress on Hospitals : Hospitals can get overwhelmed, and this affects everyone. It means longer wait times and less attention for those who really need emergency care. Crime Can Increase Desperation Leads to Survival Crimes : When people are financially desperate due to health issues, some may turn to petty crime just to survive. Substance Abuse : Losing mental health care can lead to drug or alcohol use to cope, and this often leads to trouble with the law. Homelessness and Crime Connection : When people lose their homes and can’t get help, they may be more likely to get involved in crime just to meet basic needs. Your Community Suffers Spread of Illness : Without insurance, people may not get vaccinated or treated for contagious diseases, which can make the entire community sick. Public Services Overloaded : Charities, shelters, and food banks may get overwhelmed by more people needing help, making it harder to serve everyone. Fewer Resources for Everyone : When hospitals, clinics, and public health services are stretched too thin, everyone gets worse care. Children Are Affected Missed Vaccines and Checkups : Kids without Medicaid miss important vaccines and doctor visits, putting their health and development at risk. Struggling in School : Without proper healthcare, children may fall behind in school because of untreated health problems or stress at home due to financial instability. Long-Term Poverty Medical Debt : Without Medicaid, medical bills pile up, and families can end up with huge debt, making it hard to afford basic needs like food and housing. Generational Impact : Families in debt or struggling with health issues have a harder time getting out of poverty, and this can affect future generations. Losing Medicaid isn’t just about losing insurance; it’s about losing stability in your life. Without access to healthcare, everything starts to break down—your health, your ability to work, your family’s security, and the community’s well-being. It can even lead to more crime and homelessness as people struggle just to survive. What Can You Do? Stay Informed : Know your options and stay connected to advocacy groups that support for healthcare rights. Ask for Help : Reach out to community health centers, legal aid, and nonprofits that offer support. Get Involved : Support policies that ensure everyone has access to affordable healthcare. When people lose Medicaid insurance, the effects also significantly impact taxpayers  and the overall economy. Here’s a breakdown of how this burden shifts onto taxpayers and why it's important for everyone, even those with insurance, to understand these consequences. Increased Emergency Room Costs (Taxpayer-Funded) ER Becomes the First Stop:  When people without insurance get sick or injured, they often wait until it’s serious and go to the emergency room (ER), which is far more expensive than regular doctor visits. Higher Costs Passed to Taxpayers:  ER visits are one of the most expensive ways to treat medical issues, and when uninsured patients can't pay their bills, the hospital absorbs the costs. These costs are often passed on to taxpayers  through increased funding needs for hospitals and public healthcare programs. Higher Local and State Taxes for Public Services Overloaded Public Health Systems:  Local and state governments are forced to provide more funding for free clinics, public health programs, shelters, and emergency services when there’s an increase in uninsured people. This leads to higher taxes to cover these services. Community Resources Stretched Thin:  When uninsured people need more help from publicly funded services like shelters, food banks, and healthcare clinics, these services require more taxpayer dollars to stay operational. As more people rely on these programs, the costs to taxpayers grow. Higher Insurance Premiums for Everyone Cost-Shifting in Healthcare:  Hospitals often shift the unpaid medical costs of uninsured patients onto private insurers. This drives up the overall cost of healthcare for those who do have insurance. Rising Insurance Premiums:  As healthcare providers raise prices to compensate for uninsured patients, taxpayers  who buy insurance in the private market may see their premiums go up. This makes healthcare more expensive for everyone, even those who already pay for private insurance. Increased Government Spending on Medicaid Expansion and Safety Nets Government Must Step In:  When people lose Medicaid, they still often need some form of public assistance. Governments may have to increase spending on Medicaid expansion, safety net programs, or even adjust the Medicaid qualifications to help more people. This means more public spending, which comes from taxpayer money. Taxpayer-Funded Subsidies:  In some cases, state and federal governments have to provide subsidies for health insurance, and when more people qualify due to losing Medicaid, these costs come from taxpayer funds. Higher Costs for the Criminal Justice System More People in Jail:  As explained earlier, loss of health insurance can lead to an increase in crime, especially as people turn to petty crimes for survival or get involved in substance abuse. This puts more strain on the criminal justice system, which is heavily funded by taxpayer dollars . Mental Health and Substance Abuse in Jail:  Many people end up in jail because they don’t have access to mental health or substance abuse treatment. Once in jail, taxpayers must cover the costs of healthcare, housing, and legal processing for these individuals. It’s far more expensive to treat someone in jail than it is to provide preventive care in the community. Increased Unemployment and Welfare Costs Job Loss Leads to Public Assistance Needs:  Without insurance, people’s health often deteriorates, making it hard for them to work. This can lead to job loss and more people relying on welfare programs like unemployment benefits, food stamps, and housing assistance—all of which are funded by taxpayers . Economic Downturn in Communities:  When many people lose their jobs due to poor health and medical debt, the local economy suffers. This can reduce tax revenue from income and sales taxes, while increasing the demand for public support programs. Public Health Crises Require Taxpayer Funding Spread of Diseases : When people don’t have insurance, they often skip vaccinations and preventive care, which can lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases. Taxpayers  end up footing the bill for public health campaigns, disease control efforts, and emergency healthcare interventions during these outbreaks. Community Health Declines : A sicker population puts more strain on public health resources, requiring more public health spending, which comes from local, state, and federal taxpayer funds. Increased Medical Debt Burden on the Economy Economic Instability for Families:  When families accumulate medical debt, they have less money to spend in the local economy. This reduces consumer spending and harms businesses, leading to lower tax revenue from sales taxes. Long-Term Poverty and Dependence on Government Support:  As more families fall into long-term poverty due to medical debt, they become dependent on government assistance programs. Taxpayers  must contribute more to welfare programs, public housing, and food assistance. Loss of Workforce Productivity and Tax Revenue Reduced Workforce Participation:  As people become sicker without access to healthcare, they are less able to work, leading to a reduction in workforce productivity. Lower Tax Revenues:  When fewer people are able to work due to poor health or job loss, there’s a drop in income tax revenues. This means fewer funds are available for important public services, which can lead to higher taxes for everyone else to cover the shortfall. Losing Medicaid doesn’t just hurt the people directly affected—it shifts the burden onto taxpayers  in many ways. The costs of emergency healthcare, public services, criminal justice, welfare programs, and economic downturns all end up being paid for by you , the taxpayer. By ensuring that people maintain access to Medicaid, we can prevent these problems from spiraling out of control and costing everyone more in the long run.

DB.42.131.Inf. Hidden Medicaid Agency Provider List: Connecticut Department of Social Services / CT DSS COU CGA Exposing Medicaid Secrets: How Connecticut's Violations Hurt Taxpayers & Vulnerable Populations" CGA Connecticut DSS Faces Scrutiny Over Concealed Provider List in Medicaid ABI Waiver Program In a recent legislative exchange, Connecticut State Representative Kathleen McCarty questioned Christine Weston, Director of the Community Options Unit (COU) within the Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS), about the availability of the Medicaid Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program Agency Provider List. The list is not publicly accessible and COU would need to consult with DSS legal counsel—has triggered concerns about transparency and potential violations of federal Medicaid regulations. The concealment of the Provider List directly undermines federal requirements for transparency, consumer choice, and public accountability in Medicaid-funded programs. Under the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(23)), Medicaid beneficiaries are guaranteed the right to choose from any qualified provider participating in the program. By withholding the list of providers, DSS is effectively limiting beneficiaries' ability to make informed choices about their care, a clear violation of this federal statute. More than a mere bureaucratic oversight, this lack of transparency obstructs the fundamental rights of Medicaid recipients, particularly vulnerable populations like brain injury survivors who depend on specialized care. These individuals and their families rely on accessible information to choose the most appropriate care providers based on quality, expertise, and geographic location. The absence of this information not only deprives them of their legal rights but also risks funneling beneficiaries toward limited, state-favored providers, potentially compromising the quality of care they receive. This issue with the Medicaid ABI Waiver Program could indicate a systemic problem in Connecticut’s administration of federally funded programs. If the DSS is withholding information in this program, similar practices may be occurring in other state-managed, federally funded programs. With billions of taxpayer dollars flowing through Medicaid, this raises significant concerns about mismanagement, financial oversight, and the state’s broader compliance with federal transparency requirements. Beyond violating Medicaid regulations, this failure to provide access to public information also erodes trust in the integrity of state-run health services. When critical details about provider options are concealed, it creates a veil of secrecy that limits public accountability. Moreover, it raises the specter of conflicts of interest—where specific providers may be favored by state agencies for reasons unrelated to the quality of care or beneficiary needs. Such practices, if left unchecked, can lead to monopolistic conditions where certain agencies dominate the landscape, to the detriment of consumer choice and healthcare quality. Medicaid is designed to serve some of the most vulnerable populations in the country, including individuals with disabilities, low-income families, and elderly individuals requiring long-term care. The intentional withholding of vital information such as provider lists violates not only federal laws but also the ethical obligation to ensure that these populations have equal access to healthcare services. This situation calls for immediate action from federal oversight agencies, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to conduct a thorough audit of Connecticut’s Medicaid program administration. Federal intervention is necessary to ensure that the state complies with transparency regulations and provides Medicaid beneficiaries with the information they are entitled to by law. If these practices are found to extend to other federally funded programs, it could signal widespread non-compliance, mismanagement of federal funds, and a failure to uphold the rights of vulnerable individuals across the state. As the investigation into this issue unfolds, it is critical that the DSS take immediate steps to rectify these transparency failures. The state must make the Medicaid ABI Waiver Program Agency Provider List publicly accessible and ensure that beneficiaries’ rights to choose their providers are fully restored. Anything less would continue to jeopardize the integrity of Connecticut’s Medicaid program and the health and well-being of those it is meant to serve. We’re sharing an important message about systemic issues within Medicaid programs that may be impacting both vulnerable populations and every U.S. taxpayer. These challenges could have nationwide implications, affecting how federal dollars are spent and how services reach those who rely on Medicaid. This is not about assigning blame —it’s about finding solutions that ensure taxpayer dollars are used wisely and that vulnerable individuals get the care they need. By working together, we can help create a more transparent, accountable, and effective Medicaid system that benefits everyone. Key Problems and Solutions: Misuse of Taxpayer Funds Problem: Federal Medicaid funds are being inefficiently used, which can increase costs for taxpayers while reducing the quality of services for vulnerable individuals. Solution: Conduct regular audits of Medicaid spending to ensure that every dollar is used efficiently to support essential services and avoid waste or misallocation. Lack of Transparency Problem: Essential information about Medicaid services—such as provider directories and funding allocations—is not easily accessible to the public. This lack of transparency prevents people from understanding how funds are being used and how care decisions are made. Solution: Ensure greater transparency by making Medicaid-related information, including provider directories and spending reports, publicly accessible. This will allow taxpayers, caregivers, and advocates to see where resources are going and hold the system accountable. Unethical Business Practices Problem: Some providers may be engaging in conflicts of interest or kickback schemes, where services are being recommended for financial gain rather than the needs of individuals. This drives up costs and reduces the quality of care. Solution: Implement strict ethical oversight to ensure that Medicaid services are provided based on the needs of individuals, without conflicts of interest or unnecessary services that increase costs for taxpayers. Discriminatory Business Practices in Medicaid Referrals Problem: Certain providers may be favored in Medicaid referrals, limiting access to care for individuals and creating an unequal playing field for providers. This impacts the freedom of individuals to choose the care that best fits their needs. Solution: Establish a fair and transparent referral system that treats all providers equally and ensures that individuals have access to a wide range of care options, promoting both choice and competition. Impact on Disabled Workers Problem: Disabled workers involved in the Medicaid system are not always being paid fairly, which violates federal labor laws and creates further economic challenges for an already vulnerable group. Solution: Ensure compliance with federal labor laws by guaranteeing that all disabled workers are paid fairly and treated with respect, helping create a more supportive and ethical Medicaid system. Limited Consumer Choice Problem: Some individuals are limited in their ability to choose services or housing arrangements, being tied to specific providers through restrictive agreements. This reduces their freedom to select the care and services that best suit their needs. Solution: Expand consumer choice by revising policies that restrict beneficiaries to certain providers or housing options, allowing individuals more freedom to select the services and care arrangements that work best for them. FOIA Violations and Stonewalling Problem: Public records requests related to Medicaid services and spending are being blocked or delayed, limiting public oversight and reducing accountability within the system. Solution: Enforce full compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to ensure that the public has access to important Medicaid information. This will allow for greater transparency and ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used properly. Unauthorized Care Management Services Problem: Some individuals are receiving services that have not been authorized or properly managed, leading to confusion and potential misuse of Medicaid funds. Solution: Ensure proper oversight and clear guidelines for care management services, preventing unauthorized services and ensuring that individuals receive only the care that is necessary and beneficial to them. Unfair Rental Agreements Linked to Medicaid Services Problem: Some beneficiaries are tied to specific housing arrangements through rental agreements that are linked to their Medicaid service providers, reducing their ability to change providers or housing without risking their care. Solution: Revise rental agreements and housing policies to ensure greater consumer freedom and allow individuals to change providers or housing arrangements without being penalized or risking their care. How These Issues Affect All of Us: These problems extend beyond any one state—they have national implications for how Medicaid funds are spent and how care is provided. Every taxpayer contributes to Medicaid, and it’s essential that these funds are used efficiently and transparently. At the same time, vulnerable populations—including individuals with disabilities and those relying on Medicaid services—deserve a system that works for them. By addressing these systemic challenges, we can ensure that taxpayer dollars are used wisely and that those who need support get access to the care and services they deserve. What You Can Do: Share this post to raise awareness and encourage others to understand how these issues might be affecting them and their communities. Support greater transparency and ethical oversight in Medicaid services by engaging with policymakers. Advocate for positive reform to ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively and that vulnerable individuals get the care they need. Together, we can help create a Medicaid system that benefits everyone—by ensuring accountability, promoting transparency, and protecting taxpayer resources while supporting those who rely on these essential services. What Happens When You Lose Medicaid Insurance? Medicaid is essential for many families. If it’s taken away or you lose it, it can lead to serious problems for you, your family, and even your entire community. Here’s what happens: You Can’t See the Doctor When You Need To You Delay Care : You might put off going to the doctor because you can’t afford it. Small problems can turn into big ones. No More Preventive Check-ups : Without Medicaid, you might skip regular check-ups that help catch problems early. You Can’t Afford Medications Stopping Medication : People stop taking important medications (for conditions like diabetes, mental health issues, or high blood pressure) because they can’t pay for them. Getting Worse : Without those meds, your health can get worse quickly, leading to hospital visits or even life-threatening conditions. Mental Health Suffers Stopping Therapy : Mental health services, like therapy or counseling, can get too expensive, meaning people can no longer get help for anxiety, depression, or other issues. Emotional Stress : Without professional help, mental health issues can become overwhelming, leading to stress, breakdowns, and even suicidal thoughts. Risk of Homelessness Increases Losing Your Job : If your health gets worse, you may not be able to work, leading to job loss and financial problems. Can’t Pay for Housing : Medical bills pile up, and without income, you might not be able to pay rent or the mortgage, which can lead to losing your home. Families Can Be Affected : It’s not just individuals who suffer—entire families can end up in shelters or homeless because of high medical costs. Emergency Rooms Get Overcrowded Using ER as a Doctor’s Office : People without insurance often wait until they are very sick and then go to the ER, which is much more expensive than regular care. More Stress on Hospitals : Hospitals can get overwhelmed, and this affects everyone. It means longer wait times and less attention for those who really need emergency care. Crime Can Increase Desperation Leads to Survival Crimes : When people are financially desperate due to health issues, some may turn to petty crime just to survive. Substance Abuse : Losing mental health care can lead to drug or alcohol use to cope, and this often leads to trouble with the law. Homelessness and Crime Connection : When people lose their homes and can’t get help, they may be more likely to get involved in crime just to meet basic needs. Your Community Suffers Spread of Illness : Without insurance, people may not get vaccinated or treated for contagious diseases, which can make the entire community sick. Public Services Overloaded : Charities, shelters, and food banks may get overwhelmed by more people needing help, making it harder to serve everyone. Fewer Resources for Everyone : When hospitals, clinics, and public health services are stretched too thin, everyone gets worse care. Children Are Affected Missed Vaccines and Checkups : Kids without Medicaid miss important vaccines and doctor visits, putting their health and development at risk. Struggling in School : Without proper healthcare, children may fall behind in school because of untreated health problems or stress at home due to financial instability. Long-Term Poverty Medical Debt : Without Medicaid, medical bills pile up, and families can end up with huge debt, making it hard to afford basic needs like food and housing. Generational Impact : Families in debt or struggling with health issues have a harder time getting out of poverty, and this can affect future generations. Losing Medicaid isn’t just about losing insurance; it’s about losing stability in your life. Without access to healthcare, everything starts to break down—your health, your ability to work, your family’s security, and the community’s well-being. It can even lead to more crime and homelessness as people struggle just to survive. What Can You Do? Stay Informed : Know your options and stay connected to advocacy groups that support for healthcare rights. Ask for Help : Reach out to community health centers, legal aid, and nonprofits that offer support. Get Involved : Support policies that ensure everyone has access to affordable healthcare. When people lose Medicaid insurance, the effects also significantly impact taxpayers  and the overall economy. Here’s a breakdown of how this burden shifts onto taxpayers and why it's important for everyone, even those with insurance, to understand these consequences. Increased Emergency Room Costs (Taxpayer-Funded) ER Becomes the First Stop:  When people without insurance get sick or injured, they often wait until it’s serious and go to the emergency room (ER), which is far more expensive than regular doctor visits. Higher Costs Passed to Taxpayers:  ER visits are one of the most expensive ways to treat medical issues, and when uninsured patients can't pay their bills, the hospital absorbs the costs. These costs are often passed on to taxpayers  through increased funding needs for hospitals and public healthcare programs. Higher Local and State Taxes for Public Services Overloaded Public Health Systems:  Local and state governments are forced to provide more funding for free clinics, public health programs, shelters, and emergency services when there’s an increase in uninsured people. This leads to higher taxes to cover these services. Community Resources Stretched Thin:  When uninsured people need more help from publicly funded services like shelters, food banks, and healthcare clinics, these services require more taxpayer dollars to stay operational. As more people rely on these programs, the costs to taxpayers grow. Higher Insurance Premiums for Everyone Cost-Shifting in Healthcare:  Hospitals often shift the unpaid medical costs of uninsured patients onto private insurers. This drives up the overall cost of healthcare for those who do have insurance. Rising Insurance Premiums:  As healthcare providers raise prices to compensate for uninsured patients, taxpayers  who buy insurance in the private market may see their premiums go up. This makes healthcare more expensive for everyone, even those who already pay for private insurance. Increased Government Spending on Medicaid Expansion and Safety Nets Government Must Step In:  When people lose Medicaid, they still often need some form of public assistance. Governments may have to increase spending on Medicaid expansion, safety net programs, or even adjust the Medicaid qualifications to help more people. This means more public spending, which comes from taxpayer money. Taxpayer-Funded Subsidies:  In some cases, state and federal governments have to provide subsidies for health insurance, and when more people qualify due to losing Medicaid, these costs come from taxpayer funds. Higher Costs for the Criminal Justice System More People in Jail:  As explained earlier, loss of health insurance can lead to an increase in crime, especially as people turn to petty crimes for survival or get involved in substance abuse. This puts more strain on the criminal justice system, which is heavily funded by taxpayer dollars . Mental Health and Substance Abuse in Jail:  Many people end up in jail because they don’t have access to mental health or substance abuse treatment. Once in jail, taxpayers must cover the costs of healthcare, housing, and legal processing for these individuals. It’s far more expensive to treat someone in jail than it is to provide preventive care in the community. Increased Unemployment and Welfare Costs Job Loss Leads to Public Assistance Needs:  Without insurance, people’s health often deteriorates, making it hard for them to work. This can lead to job loss and more people relying on welfare programs like unemployment benefits, food stamps, and housing assistance—all of which are funded by taxpayers . Economic Downturn in Communities:  When many people lose their jobs due to poor health and medical debt, the local economy suffers. This can reduce tax revenue from income and sales taxes, while increasing the demand for public support programs. Public Health Crises Require Taxpayer Funding Spread of Diseases : When people don’t have insurance, they often skip vaccinations and preventive care, which can lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases. Taxpayers  end up footing the bill for public health campaigns, disease control efforts, and emergency healthcare interventions during these outbreaks. Community Health Declines : A sicker population puts more strain on public health resources, requiring more public health spending, which comes from local, state, and federal taxpayer funds. Increased Medical Debt Burden on the Economy Economic Instability for Families:  When families accumulate medical debt, they have less money to spend in the local economy. This reduces consumer spending and harms businesses, leading to lower tax revenue from sales taxes. Long-Term Poverty and Dependence on Government Support:  As more families fall into long-term poverty due to medical debt, they become dependent on government assistance programs. Taxpayers  must contribute more to welfare programs, public housing, and food assistance. Loss of Workforce Productivity and Tax Revenue Reduced Workforce Participation:  As people become sicker without access to healthcare, they are less able to work, leading to a reduction in workforce productivity. Lower Tax Revenues:  When fewer people are able to work due to poor health or job loss, there’s a drop in income tax revenues. This means fewer funds are available for important public services, which can lead to higher taxes for everyone else to cover the shortfall. Losing Medicaid doesn’t just hurt the people directly affected—it shifts the burden onto taxpayers  in many ways. The costs of emergency healthcare, public services, criminal justice, welfare programs, and economic downturns all end up being paid for by you , the taxpayer. By ensuring that people maintain access to Medicaid, we can prevent these problems from spiraling out of control and costing everyone more in the long run.

A Plea to Connecticut’s Leaders: Unite and Fix This Now To the trusted leaders, representatives, and officials across Connecticut's 169 towns: We stand at a crossroads. The challenges we face as a state—whether in healthcare, infrastructure, education, or systemic inequality—demand immediate, decisive action. These are not problems that can be delayed or passed on to future generations. The time to act is now, and we are depending on you. Our communities are looking to you—those in positions of power and influence—as the only ones capable of driving the changes needed. The trust we have placed in you is not just an honor; it is a responsibility. You are the voices and hands that can deliver the solutions we so desperately need. This is a moment for unity. Regardless of political affiliations, town borders, or differing opinions, we must come together. The people of Connecticut are depending on you to bridge divides  and collaborate  for the greater good. The divisions that once held back progress must be set aside in favor of a shared commitment to a brighter future. We implore you: unite  in your purpose, work across every boundary, and implement immediate solutions. Your leadership, dedication, and vision are what will make the difference. There is no room for inaction or delay. Together, you have the power to fix this—to uplift Connecticut, to strengthen our communities, and to restore faith in our future. The path forward begins now, with your decision to act. We trust in your leadership  and we stand behind you as you take these necessary steps. For the good of all people in Connecticut, for the generations to come— let’s fix this together.
