Third-party payment for injurious medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic child [[circumcision]] in the [[United States]] keeps the incidence of non-therapeutic circumcision of children higher than any other industrial nation.  Cessation of third-party payment is likely to reduce the incidence of harmful [[circumcision]] in the [[United States]]. Hill (2021) estimated that the overall incidence of circumcision in Mississppi, where Medicaid does not provide third-party payment for non-therapeutic circumcision, is about 20 percent.<ref>{{REFweb
