HOSPITALS: Provides for a hospital stabilization formula (EN +$314,552,060 SD RV See Note)

This bill establishes a hospital stabilization formula in Louisiana to fund healthcare services without using general state tax money. It requires specific hospitals to pay quarterly assessments based on a percentage of their past revenue, while exempting rural hospitals and small private facilities. The money collected from these assessments is intended to increase reimbursement rates for hospitals and expand Medicaid coverage to help pay for uninsured patients. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state publish detailed reports on payments and directed funds received by each hospital to ensure transparency.
