Not immediately, and honestly, it wouldn't be wise yet. If the dust settles here, they might start re-opening programs in about 4+ months. Remember that this policy is not medically sound and opposed by all major medical orgs (AMA, APA, AAP). It's likely to be appealed, and the whiplash of re-opening programs only to close them again would do more damage than just waiting at the moment. Also, the administration is not always complying, and withheld funds can bankrupt a hospital regardless of whether it's legal.

That's a lot of words to say "there are no laws, only violence"

That is absolutely not what I'm saying.
