>> It was mainly herbal, which people made themselves. It almost certainly would have been included if they had the kind of medical care we have now. Sort of goes with idea of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"...

At the time the Constitution was drafted, the primary form of medical care was bleeding, which was the preferred treatment, even when the cause of the problem was a lack of blood.

John Adams had weekly bleeding during the time and I'm quite sure never suggested once that the government pay for it. His wife and kids were "inoculated" using Smallpox which made them sick for several months, and I've never heard a word about it. His young daughter suffered from breast cancer and had her breast removed without anesthesia, and it never occurred to the family they should seek payment by the government.

Your statement is total bullshit.
