I am very pleased to announce that on June 24, 2003, Governor Jeb Bush signed the Florida budget for fiscal 2003-2004, thereby officially terminating that state's Medicaid funding for the procedure, effective July 1. Florida is the sixth state to stop Medicaid circumcisions since June 2002, bringing to twelve the total number of states that do not pay for circumcisions using Medicaid funds.

Congratulations to all who worked hard to make this happen including Van Lewis, Ed Rose, Amber Craig, and many others.
