This study I found on Wikipedia ( http://ajph.aphapublications.org/cgi...tract/99/1/138 ) mentions that, in the US, States in which Medicaid covers routine male circumcision (some states cover it still, apparently), the rate can be up to 24% higher than in states where you need to pay to have it done. |
It fluctuates between being covered and not being covered. When we had our son done it wasn't covered, it was like $240, cash only, over the doctors lunch hour.
The same doc who did my son did my brother in law when he was born (he is 13 or 14 now). It was over in about 10 minutes, they walked us through the cleaning and the kid was asleep in about 30 minutes.
