Declining rates in infant circumcision in the U.S. could add more than $4.4 billion in avoidable health costs for sexually transmitted infections, a new study suggests.

The decreasing rates are partly due to gaps in insurance coverage meaning that poorer families are choosing not to circumcise their sons because of costs.

In as many as 18 U.S. states, the Medicaid health program has reduced funding for the procedure, according to Dr. Aaron Tobian from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

The rates of infant male circumcisions has dropped from 79 per cent in the 1970s to approximately 55 per cent today - a decline that has already cost the nation $2 billion, said researchers.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18
