     This is very good news. The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services have officially recognized Brain Injury as a chronic condition. When I had a Traumatic Brain Injury, it ended up causing a stroke after 18 months of mediocre care & failure to recognize how badly I was doing. Nearly 2M people in U.S. suffer a TBI annually.
