18 (7) This section only applies to hospitals that were
19 defined as statutory rural hospitals, or their
20 successor-in-interest hospital, prior to July 1, 1998. Any
21 additional hospital that is defined as a statutory rural
22 hospital, or its successor-in-interest hospital, on or after
23 July 1, 1998, is not eligible for programs under this section
24 unless additional funds are appropriated each fiscal year
25 specifically to the rural hospital disproportionate share and
26 financial assistance programs in an amount necessary to
27 prevent any hospital, or its successor-in-interest hospital,
28 eligible for the programs prior to July 1, 1998, from
29 incurring a reduction in payments because of the eligibility
30 of an additional hospital to participate in the programs.
