No need to worry. They are already on it with a 16% slash on coverage.

HHS estimates that as many as 15 million people stand to lose Medicaid coverage.

At the same time, more than 5 million children and 4.7 million adults ages 18 to 34 may get kicked off Medicaid, according to HHS.

An estimated 2.7 million people who could lose Medicaid coverage should qualify for tax credits under the Obamacare health insurance marketplaces. About 62% of those people are expected to be eligible for plans with no premiums. Another 5 million people are expected to be able to get other forms of coverage, primarily through their employer.

The alternative is before things get that ugly make a deal with China. The terms won't be much better than an unequal treaty but China will then let US down gently much like the US did to the British Empire.

Even in this diminished state life in US won't be that bad compared to world average, that's how good her geography is, certainly much better than UK. That's assuming US stays together as a country through this transition.

But, the source said, Trump will not be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell or subjected to a mug shot — typical procedures even for white-collar defendants until a judge has weighed in on pretrial conditions. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, which has been consulting with the Secret Service and New York City court officials, concluded there was no reason to subject the former president to handcuffs or a mug shot.

Under the New York State penal code, a conviction for the Class E felony of falsifying business records can result in a prison term of up to four years. But as a practical matter, that seems extremely unlikely. “No one gets jail time for that as a first offender,” said a New York law enforcement official.
