The US is going to get a lot worse, and it's already a violent society. But whether the violence will be directed against oligarchs or other poor people remains to be soon. Oppression doesn't always produce effective resistance
Medicaid, not Medicare, is being chopped down by the BBB. American health insurance is a quagmire so I can’t fault you for confusing them. Medicare recipients will see reductions in services as rural and inner city hospitals close but it’s the myth of able-bodied Medicaid cheats that gave the Nazis the excuse to take insurance away from poor people on Medicaid.
Re: Medicare, also this delayed ticking time bomb:
“The $500 Billion Time Bomb
The law’s massive deficit increase triggers automatic spending cuts under budget rules designed to control federal spending. Unless a future Congress acts, Medicare faces approximately $500 billion in cuts between 2026 and 2034. This creates a ticking time bomb that threatens the long-term stability of Medicare and the care it provides to over 65 million Americans.”

United Healthcare is capitalizing on Thompson's dearth as an excuse to clamp down on scrutiny of its own murderous actions. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/business/unitedhealth-insurance-criticism.html?unlocked_article_code=1.WU8.hl-c.PrqPAJKkXD70&smid=url-share
