Circumcision Rates Too Low Study points to 16 states where Medicaid doesn't fund procedure. By Randy Dotinga HealthDay Reporter   (SOURCES: Arleen A. Leibowitz, Ph.D., professor, public policy, University of California, Los Angeles; Robert C. Bailey, Ph.D., professor, epidemiology, University of Illinois at Chicago; January 2009, American Journal of Public Health) TUESDAY, Dec. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Thousands of male infants aren't being circumcised each year, because their states don't cover the procedure through Medicaid, new research suggests. "There's a good case to be made that circumcisions can protect our children," said study author Arleen A. Leibowitz, a professor of public policy at the University of California, Los Angeles. "If you can alleviate the cost of the procedure, then people are more likely to adopt it." Circumcision rates have been dropping since the 1980s amid controversy about whether the procedure is necessary or desirable. More states, meanwhile, have stopped paying for the procedure through Medicaid, including 10 in this decade alone. If all states covered circumcision, the percentage of male babies who get the procedure would rise from 56 percent to 62 percent, Leibowitz estimated. -- Posted by Miss Vanity at 5:34 am on Dec. 27, 2008 Wow -- Posted by tait at 5:34 am on Dec. 27, 2008 I hope this is a joke. -- Posted by JasonHot at 5:34 am on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from tait at 8:34 am on Dec. 27, 2008 I hope this is a joke. wats the joke.  its a sad fact.   -- Posted by Magneto at 5:35 am on Dec. 27, 2008 The plague of egypt is back. -- Posted by tait at 5:36 am on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from JasonHot at 1:34 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from tait at 8:34 am on Dec. 27, 2008 I hope this is a joke. wats the joke. its a sad fact.
