If the US were "free" you'd have a gazillion snake oil salesmen,
We do anyways.
And I'd be free to buy from them, or not.
And if they committed fraud in the sale, I would have legal recourse.
If you were still alive.
Historically, this didn't work out well. You know, back when the snake oil salesmen were literal and selling real snake oil, cocaine, and various low-dose toxic extracts. (I believe similar things happen in China today, but it's more slanted toward traditional medicine and thus less likely to be toxic.)
