Sheps Center for Health Services Research compiled at their request.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If your party moves ahead with these drastic health care cuts that will cut millions of people off their health insurance coverage, rural hospitals will not get paid for the services they are required by law to provide to patients. In turn, rural hospitals will face deeper financial strain,&#8221; the Democrats&#8217; letter states.<\/p>\n<p>The center analyzed data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to compile a list of rural hospitals at the highest risk of financial distress, broken down by state and congressional district.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Republican health care cuts would be felt by rural hospitals across the country. In Louisiana, 32 rural hospitals \u2014 or a majority of rural hospitals in the state \u2014 are serving a high concentration of Medicaid patients. A total of 33 hospitals are at risk based on serving a high share of Medicaid patients, experiencing negative total margins, or both,&#8221; Democrats wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Louisiana is the home state of Sen. Bill Cassidy, the top Republican on the Senate health panel.<\/p>\n<p>The letter also itemized rural hospitals at risk in Alaska, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Substantial cuts to Medicaid or Medicare payments could increase the number of unprofitable rural hospitals and elevate their risk of financial distress. In response, hospitals may be forced to reduce service lines, convert to a different type of healthcare facility, or close altogether,&#8221; wrote University of North Carolina researchers Mark Holmes, George Pink and Tyler Malone in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markey.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/sheps_response.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">their responses<\/a> to the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alexander-tin\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alexander  Tin<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Alexander Tin is a digital reporter for CBS News based in the Washington, D.C. bureau.
