Dr. Jay Bhattacharya weighs in on a new California law that will punish doctors for 'medical misinformation' on 'The Ingraham Angle.'is looking to pay reparations to about 600 people alive today who were sterilized, sometimes against their will, as part of state programs.
There’s one year left before the $4.5 million program shuts down and state officials have denied 103 people, closed three incomplete applications and are processing 153 others. Many records needed to verify applications have been lost or destroyed over the years, officials said. The eugenics movement sought to prevent some people with mental illness or physical disabilities from being able to have children and California had the nation’s largest forced sterilization program, sterilizing about 20,000 people beginning in 1909. A state audit found that 144 women were sterilized inbetween 2005 and 2013 with little or no evidence they were counseled or offered alternative treatments.
