Irony of ironies, Obama may go down in history as the US president who *ended* socialized medicine.

First of all, Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare are not mathematically sustainable. But this didn’t prevent the socialists from finally forcing socialized medicine down our throats. However, to do so, they had to kill Medicare. Well, they have done that as well. Medicare is withering on the vine.

They wanted to force Medicare patients into Obamacare. But there is a serious window in the timetable when they will have neither Medicare nor Obamacare. And this matters.

Because Obamacare is loaded with “poison pills”, so it will almost certainly be thrown out in its entirety by the Supreme Court.

This means the new, *Republican* congress can either recreate Medicare from scratch, or just by doing nothing, people will have to go back to paying for their own medical care. Granted, at half the cost of government provided care, and no way the insurance companies can pay for it.

And even if the Republicans buckle under ceaseless assault by the socialists and RINOs, it won’t matter, because there will be no way to pay for a reanimated Medicare. It just can’t be done.

So as a nation, at least as far as health care goes, we have an abrupt return to a free market.
