Cash for vasectomy....

Ex, indulge me in case it has already been answered since I read most of this while at work and skimmed through several portions, but would you have the same issues if public money were merely being spent on offering the operation the same way free contraceptives are handed out - as in no extra money being passed around?

Bit of a long question. I hope I've understood you correctly.

I'm against paying people any money to incentivise them to undergo medical procedures.

What if they want to be paid? You can't yell out "manipulation" at every turn.

I think I see the point trying to be made here - that if someone is desperate enough for drugs, they will not use their best judgement and chose to get the operation just to ensure they can buy their fix later on. I just wanted to know if people would have the same objections if someone was encouraged to have an operation but WASN'T handed money for it. Tax dollars might be spent on it, or it could be entirely charity, but it would be similar to the programs where condoms and other contraceptives are handed out for free.
