Is 23andme worth purchasing today? What are the chances of cut-off to results?

Hi, I'm poor. Pretty poor in fact. I have a lot of health problems and I'd been considering purchasing 23andme since I heard about it around a year ago and finally decided I'd get it in December, until I heard about the FDA thing and paused. $99 is totally worth it, but not if the FDA cuts me off from the results of my tests before I can access them and export data or screenshot or something. Does anyone know whether, if I purchase the test today and immediately return it, if there's a good enough possibility (at least 25% or something chance) that I won't be able to access my genetic results making the test essentially a throw away of one hundred dollars?

Absolutely 0% chance of that. The FDA has no authority to prevent you from accessing your data. Also, 23andme would have to refund you the money if they do not provide you with the results in accordance with their terms of sale. It will be a month or two before you get your results. However, you will get them.
