Abstract
Some places in rural America are at risk of (vulnerable to) being without adequate health care services for the following reasons:
They lack a sufficient number of people to support a practice/provider.
They lack a sufficient number of people who are able to pay the full cost of care.
The population size and composition do not warrant the level of services currently available. If conditions in adjoining places change, the network dissolves, and/or subsidy is withdrawn, the place will no longer be adequately served.
This Policy Brief describes a method to identify such places and the implications of using this method.
