I called the Hospital about my upcoming Bypass surgery 2-21-25

The gentleman I spoke with said from what he could see, everything has been approved. I so really want to believe that but I keep hearing about rescinded job offers, suspension of this and that and with Trumps EO's, I'm really afraid that I'm going to get a call stating my surgery will need to be postponed due to funding freeze.
I don't know enough about the law to feel any comfort with the hospitals reassurance.
For all the people in similar circumstances out there, please keep us in mind and if anyone has any good news, please share it.
I'm sorry that so many people are being cruelly tortured by this huge inner child playing SimCountry with real lives.
My GoFundMe link is below, but please, please keep others in need near to your heart during this especially difficult stressful time.
Bless you all and thank you so much for being there to support people like me emotionally, spiritually and yes, financially.

In honor of Black History Month starting 2-1 I will quote MLK.

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
Seems like a perfect fit for these times.

They did it the day after I had a test done. So I can't be of any help to you. Best of luck on the surgery
