When we lived in Ontario, Canada the health insurance used to cover circs.
At some point it decided this was cosmetic surgery, or unecessary surgery,
and it wouldn't be covered. If you wanted it you had to pay for the
surgery, when it was done, cash or cheque. I would assume the rest of
Canada has this policy, I don't know if extended health plans cover this.
