Tennessee already has one of the highest rural hospital closure rates of any state in the US. From the list of affected hospitals that I saw, this bill would essentially leave the upper western corner of the state without access to hospital or ER care. In addition to rural hospitals, it's expected that at least two hospitals in Nashville that serve indigent communities would be forced to close as well.
