    Leveraging the broken health care system to attack the revanchist cultural system?

    I mean, maybe. But when child birth already runs into the $20k-$50k range, I doubt anyone is going to notice the $150 they charge for foreskin removal until the bill arrives.

      That’s what they’re saying. The typical cost is $20k-$50k, with all but ~$3k covered by insurance.

      If insurance doesn’t cover it it’s now $1200 out of pocket.

      Making it illegal would be better, but that requires convincing people. Even if you approve of circumcision, you’re still not going to be surprised when your insurance company drops what you consider to be something important.
