It does... Why would I become a farmer if I didn't make any money? How could I even afford my farm?

A lot of farmers don't farm for money, they farm so they can survive. So, yes, commercial farming wouldn't happen, but people still would farm.

How would we get the food if commercial farming didn't happen?

You would need to farm yourself, or work out something with a substance farmer.

Medicine isn't always a necessity. At least not man made medicine.

Man-made medicine is a necessity for an effective health care system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHO_Model_List_of_Essential_Medicines

All those (except manmade medicine) are already free. Go live in the jungle and live off the land.

isn't all of that free already mostly because of Welfare? Somehow people live off food stamps, but still pull out wads of cash for beer and cigarettes

In reality, food and water are free. We could all start a farm and build a well. What we pay for is the convenience of having someone else provide us with these essentials. Rather than having everyone be a sustenance farmer, we "trade" for food and water and have extra money left over for luxuries. So basically, we don't pay for the food and water, we pay for the labor.
