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