GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les coupes Medicaid interviennent dans un contexte de remise en question globale du contrat social occidental. Alors que les États-Unis, première puissance économique mondiale, réduisent leur filet de sécurité sanitaire, les pays émergents (Inde, Brésil, Chine) élargissent leur couverture. Ce contraste alimente le narratif BRICS d'un ordre mondial post-occidental et offre à la Chine un argument idéologique puissant. Pour les alliés traditionnels des États-Unis, la question est délicate : critiquer Washington sur le plan social sans fragiliser l'alliance sécuritaire.
