MARION COUNTY, Fla. -- People have been noticing billboards in Marion County advertising free vasectomies. WFTV learned Wednesday the federal government is paying for the billboards and the surgeries. It's a program that's been offered for years, but the county just started advertising it.A government that big enough to give you free vasectomies is big enough to own GM.
Billboards don't always command your attention, but it's difficult not to notice the sign for free vasectomies posted by the Marion County Health Department along Baseline Road in Ocala (see map).
“They actually cut prices on getting your cats and dogs neutered and spayed, so that falls in line with Marion County, we're progressive,” resident Henry Galyen said.
The Marion County Health Department told WFTV the four family-planning billboards it purchased for roughly $10,000 in recent months have lead to some serious inquiries.
