Well, hell, let's just amend the Health Care Reform to buy everyone a jar of
leeches and a straight razor. That's about the level of health care our
founders knew. Most medicine was practiced in this country by barbers - which
is one of the reasons that the traditional barber pole had red and white
tripes
