Canada has fourteen single-payer health insurance plans — one for each of the ten provinces and three territories and a 14th plan for government employees. The British Columbia HIP stopped paying for non-therapeutic circumcision in the 1980s. One by one, all other HIPs have stopped paying for non-therapeutic circumcision. Third-party payment for non-therapeutic circumcision is not presently available anywhere in Canada. | |||
