     viability of rural hospitals, including delaying 
     disproportionate share hospital payment reductions by the 
     amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes, 
     provided that such legislation would not increase the deficit 
     over either the period of the total of fiscal years 2022 
     through 2026 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2022 
     through 2031.
