Chicago - Officials at one Illinois hospital say they are going to stop delivering babies because the state isn't paying its bills.

Kewanee Hospital in Henry County says it will close its birthing center this summer.

The hospital claims it has lost $2 million over the past three years because the state isn't covering its share of the cost.

They say 73 percent of the babies born there were covered by Medicaid or other public aid.
