They aren't
targeted and
informed by themselves. How will these people hear about the program? Mailings and notifications will use outlets that reach particular demographics (not the middle to upper class). Who decides the audience to be placed on the list of targets?

The same way you consider it enough of your business to form an opinion in support of such a program. The same way other programs are my business. And "decide for themselves" has been a much debated phrase for generations.

First off, bigoted bitch, Nazi eugenics spanned beyond the horror of concentration camps and compulsory sterilization occurred in the USA and around the world up until relatively recently. You really need to read. Do your brain a favor.
"Anyone" cannot elect to take the money because you already said it targets the "less desirable". In your mind, it is as simple as saying "yes" or "no" to some money. These are overwhelmingly disadvantaged people who are being labeled and stigmatized as "less desirable" and told that it is ideal that they be sterilized. Even if they do not participate in the paid sterilization program, membership in the "less desirable" group will resonate. You don't see the downward spiral because you are truly a clueless bigot.

I have also worked extensively with particular demographics and I know researchers and practitioners who have struggled for years to get particular demographics to participate in PAID research and PAID medical procedures. This is no different. Minimal success in a couple cities or states doesn't mean a substantive percentage of people are willing to be sterilized for money. It also doesn't mean
billions of dollars are saved and generational poverty is
eliminated. This has not been supported by research. Target populations aren't obligated to care about hypothetical savings of
billions of dollars and hypothetical
elimination of generational poverty.
