Red Flag threats for those with disabilities
 

Why put the health and safety of a disabled person in jeopardy, so an aide can clock in/out so they don't get a red flag?  The system is severely flawed and punishes a disabled person for being disabled and needing help.  Instead of encouraging and removing barriers so the disabled can thrive, this system is trapping them at home, tracking their movements and threatening their health and safety.  Why threaten a disabled person's Medicaid status, because of an arbitrary system of red flags?
