And no, it is not about sacrificing your foreskin or parents scarring their infant son for life...it is literally about the outrageous costs quoted by a US hospital for a procedure that could be done on your kitchen table (if you're the kind of sick fuck who would do that).
$23,000

You definitely don't want to get your infant's pecker skin hacked off at Massachusetts General if your bargain savvy.
Your local mohel will likely do the whole schmear for about $1500.00 including anaesthesia for the squeamish.
Ha ha ha.
It wasn't about the rightness or wrongness of circumcision.
It is about exposing that the US healthcare system is just rapacious....who cares if it covered by insurance? The fact is, the American consumer is paying way too much for some procedures and along the way, it is likely overhead and administration costs that represent the lion's share.
Maybe if more medical surgeries charged such ridiculous prices for this, fewer idiot parents would subject their infant sons to this redundant practice. IMO.![]()
How much is the current rate paid for foreskins that hospitals sell?
I don't understand why people consider circumsision as a "cosmetic", "aesthetic" or "hygienic" only procedure. Some people already said that they were circumsized as adults due to more or less serious medical conditions, or accidents (i had to be circumsized due to the fact that the foreskin tore apart a couple times - which is very painful).
And why do people treat parents like monsters if they get their child circumsized? Last I checked, none of you know if there is a congenital condition that'd make the surgery necessary, or maybe the parents care about accidents (like mine), or hygiene, and don't care about aesthetics!!
Stop behaving like you're an all-knowing, almighty savior of the foreskin, what difference does it make in your life!!
People who say it's unnecessary, I should point out that keeping the penis clean is much easier when you're uncircumcised, and that's very important to a lot of people.
