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.
Yeah was about $250 IIRC out of pocket, at the time they do it (is it at birth?).

Alberta Health care doesn't cover it, who knows about other provinces.
