This is an important moment for Intactvists and our fight against infant circ.
England stopped routinely circumcising after WW2. They were in horrible economic times and were starting a new universal health care system. This new system cut all that was not needed, including circumcision. Today the UK does not routinely circumcise their infants.
America is in a similar moment. We are in tough economic times, with the possibility of a new health care system on the horizon. Not only that but we have a new administration with an open ear, waiting for our ideas.
There has been some confusion on this board that change.org was connected to the Obama administration, its not. But change.gov is, and they are waiting for our ideas.
This is a link on change.gov, talking about the health care transition team. PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO. It is a video talking to all the people who will be very much involved in making the decisions about Obamas new health care system. (such as, should circumcision be covered). You also can get an idea of how you can get involved, and help form the decisions they will make.

Here is the link where you can submit your ideas about health care.
http://change.gov/agenda/health_care_agenda/
(there is also suppose to be a place where people can talk to each other about our ideas, at least thats what one woman in the video said, but I have not been able to find that yet)
Also PLEASE keep using change.org, the more we organize, the more impact we will have on the issue of circumcision in relation to health care, and as a human rights issue in general.
Millions of dollars can be saved for life saving procedures if we can make it so circumcisions are removed from any/all health care plans.

I was referring to all my nocirc groups and my blog too...
