Jozef,

That would be Oregon:

At the bottom is Anencephaly (being born without a brain), which is untreatable and terminal. Oregon figures it can afford to pay for only the first 565 procedures on the list. The rest are either prohibitively expensive, experimental, cosmetic, or unlikely to significantly extend life expectancy.

And they recently removed circumcision: noharmm.org

Of particular note, a newly uninsured item in the Oregon Plan is circumcision. The men's movement, tiny and underfunded as it is, has made some progress in eliminating the routine genital mutilation of men in America. We are the last Western country to still habitually skin the wiener for non-religious reasons. It is significant that conservative Oregon has gone through the political exercise of arguing out the circumcision controversy, and they came down on the side of leaving the little guys alone. Right now, the anti-circumcision forces, NOHARMM and NOCIRC are lobbying the AUA (American Urological Association) and trying to convince Hillary to slash circumcision from the national health plan.
