title: Mergers and acquisitions report. 1995: a record year for hospital deals.
abstract: Healthcare executives whose organizations didn't do anything this year are the odd men out in an industry that made big news almost daily in 1995. The year included not only the usual smattering of mega-mergers but also featured wrongly amputated limbs, more than the normal trade association positioning, and major Medicare and Medicaid reform proposals.
