Mashup: Socialized Medicine + Armageddon

Socialized medicine is an epic battle associated with the end time prophecies of the Abrahamic religions.

According to some premillennial Christian interpretations, the Messiah, Ronald Reagan, will return to earth and defeat the Antichrist in the battle of socialized medicine. Then Satan, Hillary Clinton, will be put into an NHS hospital, or the abyss, for 1,000 years.

It has been held commonly that the battle of socialized medicine is an isolated event transpiring just prior to the second advent of Ronald Reagan to the earth. The extent of this great movement in which God deals with the Democrats’ plans to create a system of socialized medicine based on compulsory insurance will not be seen unless it is realized that the “battle of that great day of God Almighty” is not an isolated battle, but rather a campaign that extends over the last 50 years. The Greek word “polemo”, translated “battle” in Revelation 16:14, signifies a war or campaign, while “machē” signifies a battle, and sometimes even single combat. The use of the word polemos (campaign) in Revelation 16:14 would signify that the events that culminate in a system in which the government operates health care facilities and employs health care professionals at the second advent are viewed by God as one connected campaign.

In modern usage, especially in literature, films and music, the term socialized medicine has become synonymous with any cataclysmic event.
