10/15/2024 Exposing Medicaid Secrets: How Connecticut's Violations Hurt Taxpayers & Vulnerable Populations 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. In a world where transparency and accountability are becoming increasingly important, concerns are growing about the rights of brain-injured individuals in Connecticut who rely on federally funded programs for their care. Disturbing news has recently emerged regarding the Approved Provider Directory and Connecticut care management referral processes of federally funded waivers. According to Marihonor Flagg, a representative from ACR Allied Community Resources, the approved provider directory is not available for public view, citing a directive from the Department of Social Services DSS. ABI Resources states, "This lack of transparency is extremely concerning and raises questions about the quality and reliability of the information contained in the directory, as well as, past and current Care Management referral practices of federally funded services to Medicaid agency providers." Furthermore, Flagg states that "there is no link to the Provider Directory that Allied produces and maintains." ABI resources states, this adds to the confusion and uncertainty surrounding this issue. This lack of access to vital information could potentially have serious consequences for individuals and families in need of assistance from Medicaid programs. Why would a Medicaid agency provider directory list be hidden from the public? ABI Resources recently contacted the state's Department of Social Services DSS and the Community Options Unit COU in an effort to obtain clarity on these concerns. Jennifer Cavallaro, the Social Services Program Division Director for the Division of Health Services Community Options Unit; Amy Dumont, LCSW, the Social Services Program Manager; Elizabeth Orejuela, the Community Nurse Coordinator, and Michael Slitt, Staff Attorney at the Connecticut Department of Social Services, have been contacted, but as of now, a clear response has yet to be provided. ABI Resources has taken steps to address these concerns by reaching out to the federal government for assistance. Specifically, the organization has requested an investigation into management practices and has requested more detailed information about the programs, including the total number of program-approved agency providers, the entity responsible for managing and updating the approved provider directory list, information about public access to this list and Care Management referral practices of federal program agency providers. ABI Resources' requests for information have been made in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). ABI Resources remains committed to steadfast advocacy for the rights of individuals with disabilities. We are dedicated to staying informed and up-to-date on the latest developments, and we pledge to keep you informed as we receive new information.

The Connecticut Community Care (CCC) is a vital resource for many individuals and families in the state, providing a range of services and supports to help people live independently and with dignity. However, recent reports have raised concerns about the lack of transparency and accessibility in the answers and responses provided by CCC to the questions and concerns of the community it serves. This lack of transparency and accessibility is a cause for concern, as it undermines the trust and confidence that individuals and families have in CCC and its services. Without clear and accessible answers to their questions and concerns, individuals may feel frustrated, ignored, or even helpless and may be less likely to seek out the help and support they need. Furthermore, the lack of transparency and accessibility in CCC's responses also raises questions about accountability and governance. If CCC is not providing clear and accessible answers to questions and concerns, how can individuals and families be assured that their needs and interests are being taken into account in the decision-making processes of the organization? In order to address these concerns, it is essential that CCC take steps to improve the transparency and accessibility of its answers and responses to community questions and concerns. This may involve providing more detailed and comprehensive information, using clear and concise language, and making information more readily available through multiple channels, including online and in-person. By taking these steps, CCC can demonstrate its commitment to accountability, transparency, and accessibility and help ensure that individuals and families in Connecticut have the information and support they need to live independently and with dignity.

Living with a brain injury is not easy. For individuals with brain injuries, navigating through daily life can be challenging, particularly when it comes to transportation. Brain injuries can cause a range of physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments that can make it difficult for people to leave their homes and access essential services. One of the biggest challenges for people with brain injuries is limited mobility. Depending on the severity of the injury, a person may require a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility aids to get around. This can make it difficult or impossible for them to drive a car or walk long distances, limiting their independence and making it challenging to access necessary services. In addition to physical limitations, brain injuries can also cause cognitive impairments, making it difficult for individuals to plan and organize tasks, remember details, and navigate unfamiliar environments. This can make it challenging to figure out how to get to a destination, particularly if they are not familiar with the area. Behavioral changes, such as increased anxiety, impulsivity, or irritability, can also make it challenging for people with brain injuries to navigate public transportation systems, which can be noisy, crowded, and stressful. Furthermore, people with brain injuries are more vulnerable to accidents and falls, which can be a concern when traveling on foot or driving a car. Living in a town without public transportation can exacerbate many of these challenges. Without access to public transportation, people with brain injuries may have limited access to essential services, such as medical care, grocery stores, and employment opportunities. They may become socially isolated and feel disconnected from their community, leading to negative impacts on their mental health and well-being. Providing free transportation for people with brain injuries can be a critical resource for many aspects of their daily life. It can provide access to essential services, promote independence and socialization, facilitate employment and education, and foster community involvement. By eliminating the financial burden of transportation, free transportation can help to improve the quality of life for people with brain injuries and their families. We must work together to raise awareness of the challenges that people with brain injuries face and inspire understanding and compassion in our communities. By doing so, we can help to promote positive change and create a more inclusive and supportive society for people with brain injuries and their families. Raising awareness about the challenges faced by people with brain injuries is an important step towards creating a more inclusive and supportive society.

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.

From the courthouses to the halls of Congress, the fight for civil liberties spans across various facets of American life, reflecting a nation's struggle towards an inclusive society. Civil Rights Litigation and Federal Discrimination Cases: The forefront of this battle sees civil rights litigation challenging federal discrimination cases, with attorneys bringing to light injustices in voting rights challenges and police misconduct lawsuits. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) continues its pivotal actions against workplace discrimination, while the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) stands as a bulwark against accessibility violations. Advocacy and Legal Developments: LGBTQ+ rights advocacy and Fair Housing Act enforcement are testament to the ongoing efforts to broaden civil liberties. Meanwhile, racial justice initiatives and immigrant rights protections highlight the diverse scope of civil rights defense, emphasizing education equality lawsuits and environmental justice lawsuits as critical elements of this comprehensive effort. Legal Framework and Societal Impact: First Amendment rights defense and prisoners' rights litigation underscore the legal framework supporting civil liberties. The digital age brings new challenges and opportunities, as seen in civil liberties' evolution and the critical role of privacy rights and surveillance. Furthermore, whistleblower protection laws and political corruption investigations reveal the intricate relationship between civil rights, legal accountability, and political transparency. The Role of the Courts and Political Advocacy: Supreme Court civil rights decisions and federal circuit court appeals often set the stage for nationwide legal standards, influencing constitutional law challenges and affirmative action debates. Political asylum and refugee rights, alongside gerrymandering and redistricting cases, illustrate the political dimensions of civil rights advocacy. The Future of Civil Rights: As we look towards the future, the importance of federal civil rights enforcement agencies and the impact of political lobbying on civil rights cannot be understated. The quest for justice and equality continues, with civil rights attorneys and activists at the helm, navigating the complex interplay of legal challenges, political advocacy, and societal change. The landscape of federal civil rights, attorney lawsuits, and political dynamics is marked by its complexity and the unwavering commitment of those who navigate it. As we witness the ongoing efforts to protect and expand civil liberties, it's clear that the path towards equality is paved with legal battles, policy debates, and an enduring spirit of advocacy.

DB.42.131.Inf. Did your Connecticut community care manager refer you to an Agency Provider for ABI Waiver services? Were you told that there were no other agency options? Were you not provided the complete Agency provider list of over 100 agencies? The Federal government has strict Medicaid referral laws. If you believe your care manager may have broken these laws, You may contact the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division to file a complaint against the Connecticut Department of Social Services for allowing care management agencies to violate your civil rights. To File a Complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Civil Rights Division, call 1 855 856-1247. Take action to protect your rights and the rights of others. Justice Oversight in Connecticut: Spotlight on ABI Waiver Services In a concerning development, individuals in Connecticut seeking assistance through the Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program have reported potential violations of federal Medicaid referral laws by their community care managers. These allegations highlight a systemic issue within the Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS) and its contracted care management agencies, raising serious questions about the adherence to civil rights protections for individuals with disabilities. Under the ABI Waiver Program, participants are supposed to have access to a wide range of agency providers, offering various services tailored to their specific needs. However, reports have emerged of care managers not only failing to present the complete list of over 100 agency providers but also misinforming individuals that no alternatives exist, thereby limiting their options and potentially compromising the quality of care. This situation poses significant legal and ethical concerns, as federal Medicaid laws are designed to ensure fair access and equity in healthcare services. By restricting information and choices, care managers may inadvertently contravene these principles, thus impacting the rights and welfare of those they aim to serve. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Civil Rights Division, is the designated federal entity tasked with enforcing civil rights laws, including those related to healthcare and disability services. Individuals who believe their rights have been violated in the context of the ABI Waiver Program are encouraged to take action by filing a complaint with the DOJ. This step is not only vital for addressing personal grievances but also for prompting a broader investigation into the practices of the Connecticut DSS and its affiliates. To file a complaint with the DOJ, affected parties can call 1-855-856-1247. This proactive measure is crucial for safeguarding personal rights and ensuring that similar practices are corrected, thereby improving the system for current and future participants of the ABI Waiver Program. The allegations against the Connecticut Department of Social Services and its care management agencies represent a significant concern within the realm of civil rights and healthcare services. As investigations unfold, it will be essential for all stakeholders, including state officials, federal authorities, and advocacy groups, to work together in rectifying these issues and reinstating a commitment to transparency, choice, and respect for the rights of individuals with disabilities.

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.

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.

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.
