Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care

Hundreds of hospitals in rural parts of the United States are in danger of closing because they can no longer afford to stay open, according to a new report from the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform. The main reason: Insurance companies pay them much less than their big city counterparts for the same services.

In Trinity, Texas, about 90 miles north of Houston, Midcoast Medical Center recently had to close its doors.

"It has a huge impact on the community. We will lose lives. Four hundred people a month come here," Marjory Pulvino, who runs the hospital's board, told CBS News.
