The history of AB 2098, and the work that still needs to be done as Patients for Informed Consent files a motion that directly challenges the California Medical Board's authority to censor doctors.

AB 2098 is the “misinformation” and “disinformation” bill that was meant to control the conversation that doctors had with patients in the office.
