A day or two ago, I was on a website that had a discussion about circumcision rates in the states. Some of the info was surprisingly good and then there's some really bad things.
http://mgmbill.org/statistics.htm
Michigan & Ohio are numero uno on this list as having the HIGHEST circumcision rates at 85%.
Nevada has the lowest - at 12%.
Additionally, this site also explains whether or not the state still allows medicaid to fund circumcisions.
Out of all of the "red states" (those with 76-100% circ rates) only ONE does not allow circumcisions to be funded by medicaid and that is Missouri.
And of all of the "green states" (those with a 0%-25% circ rate) ALL do not accept medicaid for circumcisions. California was the first to stop in 9/1/82.
What can we do to lower these numbers?
Read the MGM Bill http://mgmbill.org/usmgmbill.htm
