Circumcision rates too low, researchers say
They're blaming states where medicaid doesn't cover circ.
Once again, it seems that circ is a status symbol. If your son is intact, it must be because you are poor and ignorant.
I think I need to cut ties with babycenter. This same issue included a newsbrief that condluded the number of unnecessary c-sections is lower than previously thought, based on birth certificate data. WTH? What is wrong with people?

| Robert C. Bailey, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said the poor are robbed of a chance to make a choice about circumcision because of the lack of funding. "It's another way in which our health system is increasing inequality across the population," he said. "People who can't afford good health care are essentially being discriminated against by this policy." |
