It's going to get really bad for Cubans in the short-term.

On one hand, I am not Rubio, so I can't understand how deep his personal grudge and hatred towards Cuba is. To me, Cuba doesn't pose any legitimate threat to the US at all, so I can't understand why Rubio feels the need to topple the current Cuba gov.
On the other hand, if I were in Rubio's shoes, and we change Cuba out for Communist China, then I would totally understand how deep that hatred runs towards the regime. But then in that case, why enact the oil blockage that would first of all hurt regular Cubans before hurting the Cuban gov? The kidnapping of Maduro has already demonstrated that the Trump-led US is not afraid of breaking international laws and take out soverign country leaders. So why not do the same surgical operation on Cuba instead of hurting regular Cuban folks?
