Pardon me, I just read that circumcisions - as well as eye examinations, wart removal and a number of other procedures - were "delisted" from OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) in 1994. And in 2005, even more health services have been delisted, including physiotherapy and chiropractic. Patients must now pay 100% of these costs out of their own pockets.

WOw - I wonder what the dollar value of a circumcision is these days. If I'd had to fork out a thousand bucks X 3 way back in those less enlightened times, it would have presented quite the obstacle ....
