It brings in $millions to hospitals, who get paid to do it and then sell the amputated forskins!

So yes, hospital staffers are heavily incentivized to promote it.

It is true, and it is the rotting heart of the matter. Religious rites aside, this is the reason that the practice persists to this day. The very same doctors who take the Hippocratic Oath get a nice payday for every foreskin removed. The removed tissue is then sold to make fancy cosmetics.
