[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the declining rates of circumcision have a lot to do with Medicare no longer paying for circumcision. While some parents with insurance or those that can pay out of pocket think about whether or not to circumcise, many poor families do not have this option since Medicare no longer pays. My cousin who is poor told me no one ever asked her if they were going to circumsice or not, perhaps because her son was born at a public hospital using Medicare funds. I am curious what the circumsion rate is in upper middle class areas around the country. [/quote] Not a statistically useful sample but among my upper middle class peers its about 50/50 (slightly more circed than not, I'd say). so not payment related. we didn't for the various reasons throughout the thread basically not enough medical need or consensus to justify a procedure which could have risks on our son which could be done later if medically necessary.[/quote]
