In this April 25, 2014 photo, a faint marking for what used to be a designated ambulance parking spot sits on the pavement outside the now closed emergency room of Flint River Community Hospital, in Montezuma, Ga.  A rule allowing struggling rural hospitals to become free-standing emergency rooms appears to be a failure. Months after the policy was adopted, not a single hospital has tried to take advantage of it. Gov. Nathan Deal’s administration had hoped the change might leave rural communities with at least emergency services, even if they could not support a full-on hospital. Medical executives say the financial model was simply unworkable.(AP Photo/David Goldman)
