      It’s about 30% across the entire country, but probably less now as that stat is older. Yes some provinces cut far more than others. Stats were from WHO I think. Also, most provinces the federal healthcare doesn’t cover circ and has to be done in private clinics. Making- https://twitter.com/sbmpediatrics/status/1058861958831767554 …

      Manitoba still covers it for boys under 1 year old. Alberta health raised the fee for circ yo.over $600 b/c it's cosmetic. Private clinics charge less. There is no reporting requirement for hospital or clinics to report rates of circ. I believe they're much higher than 30%.

      With the exception of Manitoba the sheer fact that it costs parents anything automatically lowers circ rates because parents are less likely to pay themselves. Same in the US, the few areas where insurance doesn’t cover circ the rates are far lower. However-

      Privatized/capitalist systems such as the US are literally why the rates are so much higher plus the procedure being pushed on parents immediately upon birth. As far as I know that doesn’t happen in Canada except where it’s covered as you said. Universal health care systems-

      Are literally way the rates have dropped so low in places like the UK and Australia and why it is unequivocally lower in Canada than the US. Maybe it’s not exactly 30%? But it is not higher than the US which is 50-60. It’s not feasible

      A survey two years ago found that over 50% of expecting couples in Canada would consider circumcision. I'll see if I can find the source of the study.

          All of Canada or just a province? The Canadian Urology Association said circ was unnecessary and had too many risks. There’s no way that can’t cause drastic change in medical fields. Don’t forget there’s many Canadians like natives or others who wouldn’t be apart of such surveys

          Which are also people that are less likely to circ anyways. My main point is that it’s harmful to go around saying how normal or high rates are. That’s literally what cutter’s do. We need to normalize natural males and boast how rates have lowered over the years..
