There's no need for public medicine in the US when you have the internet. Instead of the qualified opinion of a doctor, you can get the opinions of total strangers who like to guess a lot and make stuff up. And no matter what ails you, there's always guys who swear by little white pills you can buy at any I.D.A., or herbal remedies.
