ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
 
GENERAL
 
  Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation is one of the largest health care serv-
ices companies in the United States. At December 31, 1995, the Company oper-
ated 313 general, acute care hospitals and 25 psychiatric hospitals in 32
states and two foreign countries. The Company is a partner in several 50/50
joint ventures that own and operate 19 hospitals and 3 outpatient surgery cen-
ters, which are accounted for using the equity method. Such facilities are in-
cluded in the hospitals operated totals, but are not consolidated for finan-
cial statement purposes and for purposes of reporting certain operating sta-
tistics. In addition, as part of its comprehensive health care networks, the
Company operates facilities that provide a broad range of outpatient and an-
cillary services. At December 31, 1995, the Company operated more than 130
outpatient surgery centers and 200 home health agencies. The term the "Compa-
ny" as used herein refers to Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation and its di-
rect and indirect subsidiaries and affiliated partnerships, unless otherwise
stated or indicated by context.
 
  The Company's primary objective is to provide to the markets it serves a
comprehensive array of quality health care services in the most cost effective
manner possible. The Company's general, acute care hospitals usually provide a
full range of services commonly available in hospitals to accommodate such
medical specialties as internal medicine, general surgery, cardiology, oncolo-
gy, neurosurgery, orthopedics and obstetrics, as well as diagnostic and emer-
gency services. Outpatient and ancillary health care services are provided by
the Company's general, acute care hospitals as well as at freestanding facili-
ties operated by the Company including outpatient surgery and diagnostic cen-
ters, rehabilitation facilities, home health care agencies and other facili-
ties. In addition, the Company operates psychiatric hospitals which generally
provide a full range of mental health care services in inpatient, partial hos-
pitalization and outpatient settings.
 
  On April 24, 1995, the Company acquired Healthtrust, Inc.--The Hospital Com-
pany ("Healthtrust") pursuant to a merger transaction accounted for as a pool-
ing of interests (the "Healthtrust Merger"). Healthtrust began operations
through the acquisition of a group of hospitals and related assets (the
"Healthtrust Formation") from Hospital Corporation of America (the predecessor
to HCA) in September 1987. On May 5, 1994, Healthtrust acquired EPIC Holdings,
Inc. ("EPIC") in a transaction accounted for as a purchase (the "EPIC Merg-
er"). On September 16, 1994, the Company acquired Medical Care America, Inc.
("MCA") in a transaction accounted for as a purchase (the "MCA Merger"). On
February 10, 1994, the Company acquired HCA-Hospital Corporation of America
("HCA") pursuant to a merger transaction accounted for as a pooling of inter-
ests (the "HCA Merger"). Effective September 1, 1993, the Company acquired Ga-
len Health Care, Inc. ("Galen") pursuant to a merger transaction accounted for
as a pooling of interests (the "Galen Merger"). Galen began operations as an
independent publicly held corporation upon the distribution of all of its com-
mon stock (the "Spinoff") by its then 100% owner, Humana Inc. ("Humana"), on
March 1, 1993.
 
  The Company, through various predecessor entities, began operations on July
1, 1988. The Company was incorporated in Nevada in January 1990 and reincorpo-
rated in Delaware in September 1993. The Company's principal executive offices
are located at One Park Plaza, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, and its telephone
number at such address is (615) 327-9551.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The Company's strategy is to become a significant, comprehensive provider of
quality health care services in targeted markets. The Company pursues its
strategy by acquiring the health care facilities necessary to develop a com-
prehensive health care network with wide geographic presence throughout the
market. Typically, the Company enters a market by acquiring one or more
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
mid- to large-size general, acute care hospitals (over 150 licensed beds),
which have either desirable physical plants or ones which can be upgraded on
an economically feasible basis. The Company then upgrades equipment and facil-
ities and adds new services to increase the attractiveness of the hospital to
local physicians and patient populations. The Company typically develops a
network by acquiring additional health care facilities including additional
general, acute care hospitals, psychiatric hospitals and outpatient facilities
such as surgery centers, diagnostic centers, physical therapy centers and
other treatment or wellness facilities including home health care agencies. By
developing a comprehensive health care network in a local market, the Company
achieves greater visibility and is better able to attract physicians and pa-
tients by offering a full range of services in the entire market area. The
Company is also able to reduce operating costs by sharing certain services
among several facilities in the same market and is better positioned to work
with health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), preferred provider organiza-
tions ("PPOs") and employers.
 
  Upon acquisition of a facility, the Company hires experienced executives to
manage its operations and decentralizes operational decision making to the lo-
cal level, while providing local physicians and managers the opportunity to
purchase equity interests in the operations through a partnership or corporate
structure. Management believes the Company's strategy of co-ownership of its
facilities with physicians and management produces significant operational ad-
vantages. Physicians who have an ownership interest in a facility take a more
active role in recruiting other physicians and in improving efficiency by con-
taining costs and making more rational capital expenditure decisions, and of-
ten are more active supporters of operations and medical staff quality assur-
ance activities, as they have a direct personal interest in the success and
reputation of the facility. Moreover, because the Company's facilities are co-
owned with and operated by prominent members of the local medical community,
both community support for the facilities and the Company's ability to recruit
physicians to the facilities are enhanced. In addition, by providing local
managers of its facilities the opportunity to purchase equity interests in
such facilities, the Company creates incentives on the part of its local man-
agers to operate their facilities successfully with a long-term perspective.
 
HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
 
  The Company currently owns, manages or operates hospitals, ambulatory sur-
gery centers, diagnostic centers, cardiac rehabilitation centers, physical
therapy centers, radiation oncology centers, comprehensive outpatient rehabil-
itation centers and home health care agencies and programs.
 
  The Company currently operates 313 general, acute care hospitals with 62,936
licensed beds. Most of the Company's general, acute care hospitals provide
medical and surgical services, including inpatient care, intensive and cardiac
care, diagnostic services and emergency services. The general, acute care hos-
pitals also provide outpatient services such as outpatient surgery, laborato-
ry, radiology, respiratory therapy, cardiology and physical therapy. A local
advisory board, which usually includes members of the hospital's medical
staff, generally makes recommendations concerning the medical, professional
and ethical practices at each hospital and monitors such practices. However,
the hospital is ultimately responsible for ensuring that these practices con-
form to established standards. When the Company acquires a hospital, it estab-
lishes quality assurance programs to support and monitor quality of care stan-
dards and to meet accreditation and regulatory requirements. Patient care
evaluations and other quality of care assessment activities are monitored on a
continuing basis.
 
  Like most hospitals, the Company's hospitals do not engage in extensive med-
ical research and medical education programs. However, some of the Company's
hospitals have an affiliation with medical schools, including the clinical ro-
tation of medical students.
 
                                       2

  The Company currently operates 25 psychiatric hospitals with 2,866 licensed
beds. The Company's psychiatric hospitals provide therapeutic programs tai-
lored to child psychiatric, adolescent psychiatric, adult psychiatric, adoles-
cent alcohol or drug abuse and adult alcohol or drug abuse patients. The hos-
pitals use the treatment team concept whereby the admitting physician, team
psychologist, social workers, nurses, therapists and counselors coordinate
each phase of therapy. Services provided by this team include crisis interven-
tion, individual psychotherapy, group and family therapy, social services,
chemical dependency counseling, behavioral modification and physical medicine.
Family aftercare plans are actively promoted from the time of admission,
through hospitalization and after discharge. An aftercare plan measures each
patient's post-program progress and utilizes one or more self-help groups.
Program procedures are designed to ensure that quality standards are achieved
and maintained. Certain of the Company's general, acute care hospitals also
have a limited number of licensed psychiatric beds.
 
  Other outpatient or related health care services operated by the Company in-
clude ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic centers, outpatient physical
therapy/rehabilitation centers, outpatient radiation therapy centers, cardiac
rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing services and home health/infusion
services. These outpatient and related services are an integral component of
the Company's strategy to develop a comprehensive health care network in each
of its target markets. The Company currently operates more than 130 outpatient
surgery centers and 200 home health agencies (nearly all of which are hospi-
tal-based).
 
  In addition to providing capital resources, the Company makes available a
variety of management services to its health care facilities, most signifi-
cantly: national supply and equipment purchasing and leasing contracts; finan-
cial policies; accounting, financial and clinical systems; governmental reim-
bursement assistance; construction planning and coordination; information sys-
tems; legal; personnel management; and internal audit.
 
SOURCES OF REVENUE
 
  Hospital revenues depend upon inpatient occupancy levels, the extent to
which ancillary services and therapy programs are ordered by physicians and
provided to patients, the volume of outpatient procedures and the charges or
negotiated payment rates for such services. Charges and reimbursement rates
for inpatient routine services vary significantly depending on the type of
service (e.g., medical/surgical, intensive care or psychiatric) and the geo-
graphic location of the hospital. The Company has experienced an increase in
the percentage of patient revenues attributable to outpatient services. This
increase is primarily the result of advances in technology (which allow more
services to be provided on an outpatient basis), acquisitions of additional
outpatient facilities and increased pressures from Medicare, Medicaid, HMOs,
PPOs, employers and insurers to reduce hospital stays and provide services,
where possible, on a less expensive outpatient basis.
 
  The Company receives payment for patient services from the federal govern-
ment primarily under the Medicare program, state governments under their re-
spective Medicaid programs, HMOs, PPOs and other private insurers and directly
from patients. The approximate percentages of patient revenues of the
Company's facilities from such sources during the periods specified below were
as follows:

  Medicare is a federal program that provides certain hospital and medical in-
surance benefits to persons age 65 and over, some disabled persons and persons
with end-stage renal disease. Medicaid is a federal-state program administered
by the states which provides hospital benefits to qualifying individuals who
are unable to afford care. Substantially all of the Company's hospitals are
certified as providers of Medicare and Medicaid services. Amounts received un-
der the Medicare and Medicaid programs are generally significantly less than
the hospital's customary charges for the services provided.
 
  To attract additional volume, most of the Company's hospitals offer dis-
counts from established charges to certain large group purchasers of health
care services, including Blue Cross, other private insurance companies, em-
ployers, HMOs, PPOs and other managed care plans. Blue Cross is a private
health care program that funds hospital benefits through independent plans
that vary in each state. These discount programs limit the Company's ability
to increase charges in response to increasing costs. See "Competition." Pa-
tients are generally not responsible for any difference between customary hos-
pital charges and amounts reimbursed for such services under Medicare, Medic-
aid, some Blue Cross plans, HMOs or PPOs, but are responsible to the extent of
any exclusions, deductibles or co-insurance features of their coverage. The
amount of such exclusions, deductibles and co-insurance has generally been in-
creasing each year. Collection of amounts due from individuals is typically
more difficult than from governmental or business payors.
 
 Medicare
 
  Under the Medicare program the Company receives reimbursement under a pro-
spective payment system ("PPS") for the routine and ancillary operating costs
of most Medicare inpatient hospital services. Psychiatric, long-term care, re-
habilitation, pediatric and certain designated cancer research hospitals, as
well as psychiatric or rehabilitation units that are distinct parts of a hos-
pital, are currently exempt from PPS and are reimbursed on a cost based sys-
tem, subject to certain cost caps. It is uncertain what impact, if any, the
federal efforts to reform the health care system or balance the federal budget
will have on the current method of Medicare reimbursement.
 
  Under PPS, fixed payment amounts per inpatient discharge were established
based on the patient's assigned diagnosis related group ("DRG"). DRG's clas-
sify patients' treatments for illnesses according to the estimated intensity
of hospital resources necessary to furnish care for each principal diagnosis.
DRG rates have been established for each individual hospital participating in
the Medicare program and are based upon a statistically normal distribution of
severity. Patients falling well outside the normal distribution are afforded
additional payments and defined as "outliers." Under PPS, hospitals may retain
payments in excess of costs but must absorb costs in excess of such payments;
therefore, hospitals are encouraged to operate more efficiently.
 
  DRG rates are updated and recalibrated periodically and have been affected
by several recent federal enactments. The index used by the Health Care Fi-
nancing Administration ("HCFA") to adjust the DRG rates gives consideration to
the inflation experienced by hospitals in purchasing goods and services ("mar-
ket basket"). However, for several years the percentage increases to the DRG
rates have been lower than the percentage increases in the costs of goods and
services purchased by hospitals. The market basket is adjusted each federal
fiscal year ("FY") which begins on October 1. The market basket for FY 1993
was 4.1%, FY 1994 was 4.3%, FY 1995 was 3.6% and for FY 1996 is 3.5%.
 
  The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA-93") extended the re-
duction enacted by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 ("OBRA-90")
in the Medicare DRG payments to healthcare providers through 1997. A substan-
tial number of the Company's hospitals are classified as urban hospitals for
reimbursement purposes. The net updates of DRG rates for large urban and other
urban hospitals are established as follows: FY 1994 and FY 1995 market basket
 
                                       4

minus 2.5%; FY 1996 market basket minus 2%; and FY 1997 market basket minus
0.5%. Management cannot predict how future adjustments by Congress and HCFA
will affect the profitability of the Company's health care facilities.
 
  The provisions of OBRA-90 required the Secretary (the "Secretary") of the
Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") to develop a proposal for a
PPS for all hospital-based outpatient services and inpatient psychiatric care.
The Secretary's report, which was due on September 1, 1991, was submitted to
Congress on March 17, 1995. The Secretary's report recommends a phase-in of
PPS for outpatient services with prospective payment rates being established
initially for surgical and radiological services and other diagnostic proce-
dures that account for almost half of hospital outpatient Medicare charges.
Other groups of outpatient services would be brought under PPS as appropriate
methodologies are developed. The report also addressed changes to beneficiary
coinsurance and the computation of coinsurance under the current blended pay-
ment method. Implementation of the Secretary's proposals would require Con-
gress to enact legislation. The Company is unable to assess whether such leg-
islation, if any, will be enacted in connection with changes to Medicare reim-
bursement of hospital outpatient services. Until such time as the Secretary
has implemented a PPS for all hospital-based outpatient services, OBRA-90 di-
rects that payments for the reasonable cost of outpatient hospital services
(other than for capital related costs) be reimbursed at 94.2% of such reason-
able costs for cost reporting periods falling within FY 1991 through FY 1995.
OBRA-93 extended this reduction through FY 1998.
 
  Subsequent to September 30, 1991 and through FY 1992, capital related pay-
ments for inpatient hospital services were made at the rate of 90% of reason-
able capital costs. The PPS capital costs reimbursement applies an estimated
national average of FY 1989 Medicare capital costs per patient discharge up-
dated to FY 1992 by the estimated increase in Medicare capital costs per dis-
charge (the "Federal Rate"). Capital PPS is applicable to cost reports begin-
ning on or after October 1, 1991. Under capital PPS reimbursement a 10 year
transition period has been established. A hospital is paid under one of the
following two different payment methodologies during this transition period:
(i) hospitals with a hospital-specific rate (the rate established for a hospi-
tal based on the cost report ending on or before December 31, 1990) below the
Federal Rate would be paid on a fully prospective payment methodology and (ii)
hospitals with a hospital-specific rate above the Federal Rate would be paid
based on a hold-harmless payment methodology or 100% of the Federal Rate
whichever results in a higher payment. A hospital is paid under one methodol-
ogy throughout the entire transition. After the transition period, all hospi-
tals would be paid the Federal Rate.
 
  The impact of PPS capital reimbursement in the first two years has not been
material to Medicare capital reimbursement. The hospital-specific rates for FY
1994 decreased 2.16%. The established Federal Rate for FY 1994 was reduced by
9.33% to $378 per patient discharge and for FY 1995 was reduced by 0.4% to
$377 per patient discharge. The hospital-specific rate for FY 1996 increased
18.6%. The Federal Rate for FY 1996 increased 21.2% to $457 per patient dis-
charge. These increases were primarily the result of the expiration of a bud-
get neutrality provision of OBRA-90 that limited payments to 90% of payments
estimated to have been made on a reasonable cost basis during the fiscal year.
Legislation passed by Congress and vetoed by the President would have resulted
in a reduction of capital payment rates for FY 1996.
 
 Medicaid
 
  Most state Medicaid payments are made under a prospective payment system or
under programs which negotiate payment levels with individual hospitals. Med-
icaid reimbursement is generally substantially less than a hospital's cost of
services. Medicaid is currently funded approximately 50% by the states and ap-
proximately 50% by the federal government. The federal government and many
states are currently considering significant reductions in the level of Medic-
aid funding while at the same time expanding Medicaid benefits, which could
adversely affect future levels of Medicaid reimbursement received by the
Company's hospitals.

  On November 27, 1991, Congress enacted the Medicaid Voluntary Contribution
and Provider-Specific Tax Amendments of 1991 (the "Medicaid Amendments"),
which limit the amount of voluntary contributions and provider-specific taxes
that can be used by states to fund Medicaid and require the use of broad-based
taxes for such funding. As a result of enactment of the Medicaid Amendments,
certain states in which the Company operates have adopted broad-based provider
taxes to fund their Medicaid programs. To date, the impact upon the Company of
these new taxes has not been materially adverse. However, the Company is un-
able to predict whether any additional broad-based provider taxes will be
adopted by the states in which it operates and, accordingly, is unable to as-
sess the effect thereof on its results of operations or financial position.
 
 Annual Cost Reports
 
  The Company's annual cost reports which are required under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs are subject to audit which may result in adjustments to the
amounts ultimately determined to be due the Company under these reimbursement
programs. These audits often require several years to reach the final determi-
nation of amounts earned under the programs. Providers also have rights of ap-
peal, and the Company is currently contesting certain issues raised in audits
of prior years' reports. Management believes that adequate provision has been
made in its financial statements for any material retroactive adjustments that
might result from all of such audits and that final resolution of all of these
issues will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results of
operations or financial position. Since the inception of the Medicare prospec-
tive payment system in 1983, the amount of reimbursement to the Company's gen-
eral, acute care hospitals potentially affected by audit adjustments has sub-
stantially diminished.
 
 Commercial Insurance
 
  The Company's hospitals provide services to individuals covered by private
health care insurance. Private insurance carriers either reimburse their pol-
icy holders or make direct payments to the Company's hospitals based upon the
particular hospital's established charges and the particular coverage provided
in the insurance policy. Blue Cross is a health care financing program that
provides its subscribers with hospital benefits through independent organiza-
tions that vary from state to state. The Company's hospitals are paid directly
by local Blue Cross organizations on the basis agreed to by each hospital and
Blue Cross by a written contract.
 
  Recently, several commercial insurers have undertaken efforts to limit the
costs of hospital services by adopting prospective payment or DRG based sys-
tems. To the extent such efforts are successful, and to the extent that the
insurers' systems fail to reimburse hospitals for the costs of providing serv-
ices to their beneficiaries, such efforts may have a negative impact on the
operating results of the Company's hospitals.
 
HOSPITAL UTILIZATION
 
  The Company believes that the two most important factors relating to the
overall utilization of a hospital are the quality and market position of the
hospital and the number and quality of physicians providing patient care
within the facility. Generally, the Company believes that the ability of a
hospital to be a market leader is determined by its breadth of services, level
of technology, emphasis on quality of care and convenience for patients and
physicians. Other factors which impact utilization include the growth in local
population, local economic conditions and market penetration of managed care
programs.
 
  The following table sets forth certain operating statistics for hospitals
owned and operated by the Company for each of the most recent five years.
Medical/surgical hospital operations are subject to certain seasonal fluctua-
tions, including decreases in patient utilization during holiday pe-
 
                                       6

riods and increases in the cold weather months. Psychiatric hospital opera-
tions are also subject to certain seasonal fluctuations, including decreases
in patient occupancy during the summer months and holiday periods.

  Beginning in 1983, hospitals began experiencing significant shifts from in-
patient to outpatient care as well as decreases in average lengths of inpa-
tient stay, primarily as a result of hospital payment changes by Medicare, in-
surance carriers and self-insured employers. These changes generally encour-
aged the utilization of outpatient, rather than inpatient, services whenever
possible, and shortened lengths of stay for inpatient care. Another factor af-
fecting hospital utilization levels is improved treatment protocols as a re-
sult of medical technology and pharmacological advances.
 
COMPETITION
 
  Generally, other hospitals in the local markets served by most of the
Company's hospitals provide services that are offered by the Company's hospi-
tals. Additionally, in the past several years, the number of free-standing
outpatient surgery and diagnostic centers in the geographic areas in which the
Company operates has increased significantly. As a result, most of the
Company's hospitals operate in an increasingly competitive environment. The
rates charged by the Company's hospitals are intended to be competitive with
those charged by other local hospitals for similar services. In some cases,
competing hospitals are more established than the Company's hospitals. Also,
some competing hospitals are owned by tax-supported government agencies and
many others by tax-exempt corporations which may be supported by endowments
and charitable contributions and which are exempt from sales, property and in-
come taxes. Such exemptions and support are not available to the Company's
hospitals. In addition, in certain localities served by the Company there are
large teaching hospitals which provide highly specialized facilities, equip-
ment and services which may not be available at most of the Company's hospi-
tals. Psychiatric hospitals frequently attract patients from areas outside
their immediate locale and, therefore, the Company's psychiatric hospitals
compete with both local and regional hospitals, including the psychiatric
units of general, acute care hospitals.
 
  The Company believes that its hospitals compete within local markets on the
basis of many factors, including the quality of care, ability to attract and
retain quality physicians, location, breadth of services, technology offered
and prices charged. The competition among hospitals and other health care
providers has intensified in recent years as hospital occupancy rates have de-
clined. The Company's strategies are designed, and management believes that
its hospitals are positioned, to be competitive under these changing circum-
stances.
 
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  One of the most significant factors in the competitive position of a hospi-
tal is the number and quality of physicians affiliated with the hospital. Al-
though physicians may at any time terminate their affiliation with a hospital
operated by the Company, the Company seeks to retain physicians of varied spe-
cialties on its hospitals' medical staffs and to attract other qualified phy-
sicians. The Company believes that physicians refer patients to a hospital
primarily on the basis of the quality of services it renders to patients and
physicians, the quality of other physicians on the medical staff, the location
of the hospital and the quality of the hospital's facilities, equipment and
employees. Accordingly, the Company strives to maintain high ethical and pro-
fessional standards and quality facilities, equipment, employees and services
for physicians and their patients.
 
  Another major factor in the competitive position of a hospital is its man-
agement's ability to negotiate service contracts with purchasers of group
health care services. HMOs and PPOs attempt to direct and control the use of
hospital services through managed care programs and to obtain discounts from
hospitals' established charges. In addition, employers and traditional health
insurers are increasingly interested in containing costs through negotiations
with hospitals for managed care programs and discounts from established
charges. Generally, hospitals compete for service contracts with group health
care service purchasers on the basis of price, market reputation, geographic
location, quality and range of services, quality of the medical staff and con-
venience. The importance of obtaining contracts with managed care organiza-
tions varies from market to market depending on the market strength of such
organizations.
 
  State certificate of need ("CON") laws, which place limitations on a hospi-
tal's ability to expand hospital services and add new equipment, may also have
the effect of restricting competition. The application process for approval of
covered services, facilities, changes in operations and capital expenditures
is, therefore, highly competitive. In those states which have no CON laws or
which set relatively high levels of expenditures before they become reviewable
by state authorities, competition in the form of new services, facilities and
capital spending is more prevalent. The Company has not experienced, and does
not expect to experience, any material adverse effects from state CON require-
ments or from the imposition, elimination or relaxation of such requirements.
See "Regulation and Other Factors."
 
  The Company, and the health care industry as a whole, face the challenge of
continuing to provide quality patient care while dealing with rising costs,
strong competition for patients and a general reduction of reimbursement rates
by both private and government payors. As both private and government payors
reduce the scope of what may be reimbursed and reduce reimbursement levels for
what is covered, federal and state efforts to reform the United States health
care system may further impact reimbursement rates. Changes in medical tech-
nology, existing and future legislation, regulations and interpretations and
competitive contracting for provider services by private and government payors
may require changes in the Company's facilities, equipment, personnel, rates
and/or services in the future.
 
  The hospital industry and the Company's hospitals continue to have signifi-
cant unused capacity, and, thus, there is substantial competition for pa-
tients. Inpatient utilization, average lengths of stay and average occupancy
rates continue to be negatively affected by payor-required pre- admission au-
thorization, utilization review and by payor pressure to maximize outpatient
and alternative health care delivery services for less acutely ill patients.
Increased competition, admissions constraints and payor pressures are expected
to continue. To meet these challenges, the Company has expanded many of its
hospitals' facilities to include outpatient centers, offers discounts to pri-
vate payor groups, enters into capitation contracts in some service areas, up-
grades facilities and equipment and offers new programs and services.

REGULATION AND OTHER FACTORS
 
 Licensure, Certification and Accreditation
 
  Health care facility construction and operation is subject to federal, state
and local regulations relating to the adequacy of medical care, equipment,
personnel, operating policies and procedures, fire prevention, rate-setting
and compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. Facili-
ties are subject to periodic inspection by governmental and other authorities
to assure continued compliance with the various standards necessary for li-
censing and accreditation. All of the Company's health care facilities are
properly licensed under appropriate state laws. Substantially all of the
Company's general, acute care hospitals are certified under the Medicare pro-
gram or are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care
Organizations ("Joint Commission"), the effect of which is to permit the fa-
cilities to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Certain of the
Company's psychiatric hospitals do not participate in these programs. Should
any facility lose its Joint Commission accreditation, or otherwise lose its
certification under the Medicare program, the facility would be unable to re-
ceive reimbursement from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Management be-
lieves that the Company's facilities are in substantial compliance with cur-
rent applicable federal, state, local and independent review body regulations
and standards. The requirements for licensure, certification and accreditation
are subject to change and, in order to remain qualified, it may be necessary
for the Company to effect changes in its facilities, equipment, personnel and
services.
 
 Certificates of Need
 
  The construction of new facilities, the acquisition of existing facilities,
and the addition of new beds or services may be subject to review by state
regulatory agencies under a CON program. The Company operates hospitals in
some states that require approval under a CON program. Such laws generally re-
quire appropriate state agency determination of public need and approval prior
to the addition of beds or services or certain other capital expenditures.
Failure to obtain necessary state approval can result in the inability to ex-
pand facilities, complete an acquisition or change ownership. Further, viola-
tion may result in the imposition of civil or, in some cases, criminal sanc-
tions, the denial of Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement or the revocation of a
facility's license.
 
 State Rate Review
 
  Some states in which the Company owns hospitals have adopted legislation
mandating rate or budget review for hospitals or have adopted taxes on hospi-
tal revenues, assessments or licensure fees to fund indigent health care
within the state.
 
  In Florida, a budget review process and limitations on net revenue increases
per admission have been in effect with respect to the Company's hospitals
since January 1, 1986. The increase in hospital net revenues per admission is
limited to an annually-determined percentage increase in costs that Florida
hospitals pay for goods and services plus a statutory 2%, plus additional
amounts which recognize the effect of patient days related to Medicare, Medic-
aid and uncompensated charity care. This law limits the ability of Florida
hospitals to increase rates to maintain operating margins. The Company owned
55 hospitals aggregating 13,378 beds in Florida as of December 31, 1995.
 
  In the aggregate, state rate or budget review and indigent tax provisions
have not materially adversely affected the Company's results of operations.
The Company is unable to predict whether any additional state rate or budget
review or indigent tax provisions will be adopted and, accordingly, is unable
to assess the effect thereof on its results of operations or financial condi-
tion.

 Utilization Review
 
  Federal law contains numerous provisions designed to ensure that services
rendered by hospitals to Medicare and Medicaid patients meet professionally
recognized standards, are medically necessary and that claims for reimburse-
ment are properly filed. These provisions include a requirement that a sam-
pling of admissions of Medicare and Medicaid patients must be reviewed by peer
review organizations ("PROs"), which review the appropriateness of Medicare
and Medicaid patient admissions and discharges, the quality of care provided,
the validity of DRG classifications and the appropriateness of cases of ex-
traordinary length of stay or cost. PROs may deny payment for services provid-
ed, may assess fines and also have the authority to recommend to HHS that a
provider which is in substantial noncompliance with the standards of the PRO
be excluded from participating in the Medicare program. Utilization review is
also a requirement of most non- governmental managed care organizations.
 
 Medicare Regulations and Fraud and Abuse
 
  Participation in the Medicare program is heavily regulated by federal stat-
ute and regulation. If a hospital provider fails substantially to comply with
the numerous conditions of participation in the Medicare program or performs
certain prohibited acts (e.g., (i) making false claims to Medicare for serv-
ices not rendered or misrepresenting actual services rendered in order to ob-
tain higher reimbursement; (ii) paying remuneration for Medicare referrals (so
called "fraud and abuse" which is prohibited by the "anti-kickback" provisions
of the Social Security Act); (iii) failing to stabilize all individuals who
come to its emergency room who have an "emergency medical condition," whether
or not any such individual is eligible for Medicare; (iv) transferring any
stabilized patient to another health care facility before such other facility
has agreed to the transfer of such patient, while such other facility does not
have sufficient room and staff to treat the patient, without the patient's
emergency department medical records, or without appropriate life support
equipment; and (v) transferring any unstabilized patient except those trans-
ferred at the patient's request or with physician certification that the medi-
cal risks from the transfer are less harmful than continued treatment at the
transferring facility), such hospital's participation in the Medicare program
may be terminated or civil or criminal penalties may be imposed upon such hos-
pital under certain provisions of the Social Security Act.
 
  Moreover, HHS and the courts have interpreted the "fraud and abuse" anti-
kickback provisions of the Social Security Act (presently codified in Section
1128B(b) of the Social Security Act, hereinafter the "Antifraud Amendments")
broadly to include the intentional offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of
anything of value if one purpose of the payment is to induce the referral of
Medicare business. Health care providers generally are concerned that many
relatively innocuous, or even beneficial, commercial arrangements with their
physicians may technically violate this strict interpretation of the Antifraud
Amendments.
 
  In 1976 Congress established the Office of Inspector General ("OIG") at HHS
to identify and eliminate fraud, abuse and waste in HHS programs and to pro-
mote efficiency and economy in HHS departmental operations. The OIG carries
out this mission through a nationwide program of audits, investigations and
inspections. In order to provide guidance to health care providers on ways to
engage in legitimate business practices and avoid scrutiny under the fraud and
abuse statute, the OIG has from time to time issued "fraud alerts" identifying
features of transactions, which, if present, may indicate that the transaction
violates the fraud and abuse law. In May 1992, the OIG issued a special fraud
alert regarding hospital incentives to physicians. The alert identified the
following incentive arrangements as potential violations of the statute: (a)
payment of any sort of incentive by the hospital each time a physician refers
a patient to the hospital, (b) the use of free or significantly discounted of-
fice space or equipment (in facilities usually located close to the hospital),
(c) provision of free or significantly discounted billing, nursing or other
staff services, (d) free training for a physician's office staff in areas such
as management techniques,
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
CPT coding and laboratory techniques, (e) guarantees which provide that, if
the physician's income fails to reach a predetermined level, the hospital will
supplement the remainder up to a certain amount, (f) low-interest or interest-
free loans, or loans which may be forgiven if a physician refers patients (or
some number of patients) to the hospital, (g) payment of the costs of a physi-
cian's travel and expenses for conferences, (h) coverage on the hospital's
group health insurance plans at an inappropriately low cost to the physician
and (i) payment for services (which may include consultations at the hospital)
which require few, if any, substantive duties by the physician, or payment for
services in excess of the fair market value of services rendered. In this
fraud alert the OIG encouraged persons having information about hospitals who
offer the above types of incentives to physicians to report such information
to the OIG.
 
  In addition, on July 29, 1991, the OIG issued final regulations outlining
certain "safe harbor" practices, which, although potentially capable of induc-
ing prohibited referrals of business under Medicare or state health programs,
would not be subject to enforcement action under the Social Security Act. The
practices covered by the regulations include certain physician joint venture
transactions, rental of space and equipment, personal services and management
contracts, sales of physician practices, referral services, warranties, dis-
counts, payments to employees, group purchasing organizations and waivers of
beneficiary deductibles and co-payments. Additional proposed safe harbors are
expected to be published in the near future by the OIG, including a safe har-
bor regulation for physician recruitment. Certain of the Company's current ar-
rangements with physicians, including joint ventures, do not qualify for the
current safe harbor exemptions and, as a result, such arrangements risk scru-
tiny by the OIG and may be subject to enforcement action. The failure of these
arrangements to satisfy all of the conditions of the applicable safe harbor
criteria does not mean that the arrangements are illegal. Nevertheless, cer-
tain of the Company's current financial arrangements with physicians, includ-
ing joint ventures, and the Company's future development of joint ventures and
other financial arrangements with physicians, could be adversely affected by
the failure of such arrangements to comply with the safe harbor regulations,
or the future adoption of other legislation or regulation in these areas.
 
  Effective January 1, 1991, Section 1877 of the Social Security Act (commonly
known as "Stark I") prohibited referrals of Medicare and Medicaid patients to
clinical laboratories with which a referring physician has a financial rela-
tionship. OBRA-93 included certain amendments to Section 1877 (such amendments
commonly known as "Stark II") which substantially broadened the scope of pro-
hibited physician self-referrals to include referrals by physicians to enti-
ties with which the physician has a financial relationship and which provide
certain "designated health services" which are reimbursable by Medicare or
Medicaid. "Designated health services" include not only the clinical labora-
tory services which were the only such services covered by Stark I, but also,
among other things, physical and occupational therapy services, radiology
services, durable medical equipment, home health, and inpatient and outpatient
hospital services. Sanctions for violating Stark I or II include civil money
penalties up to $15,000 per prohibited service provided, assessments equal to
200% of the dollar value of each such service provided and exclusion from the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. Stark II contains certain exceptions to the
self-referral prohibition, including an exception if the physician has an own-
ership interest in the entire hospital. Stark II became effective January 1,
1995 and contemplates the promulgation of regulations implementing the new
provisions. The Company cannot predict the final form that such regulations
will take or the effect that Stark II or the regulations to be promulgated
thereunder will have on the Company.
 
  The Social Security Act also imposes criminal and civil penalties for making
false claims to Medicare and Medicaid for services not rendered or for misrep-
resenting actual services rendered in order to obtain higher reimbursement.
Like the Antifraud Amendments, this statute is very broad. Careful and accu-
rate coding of claims for reimbursement must be performed to avoid liability
under the false claims statutes.
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
  The OIG has requested information regarding the Company's procedures for
preparing Medicare cost reports. The Company is cooperating with the OIG and
has provided various information in order to explain the Company's practices.
Management believes that any claims in this regard, if asserted, would not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.
 
  Certain of the Company's current financial arrangements with physicians, in-
cluding joint ventures, and the Company's future development of joint ventures
and other financial arrangements with physicians, could be adversely affected
by the failure of such arrangements to comply with the Antifraud Amendments,
Section 1877, current state laws or other legislation or regulation in these
areas adopted in the future. The Company is unable to predict the effect of
such regulations or whether other legislation or regulations at the federal or
state level in any of these areas will be adopted, what form such legislation
or regulations may take or their impact on the Company. The Company is contin-
uing to enter into new financial arrangements with physicians and other prov-
iders in a manner structured to comply in all material respects with these
laws. There can be no assurance, however, that (i) governmental officials
charged with the responsibility for enforcing these laws will not assert that
the Company is in violation thereof or (ii) such statutes will ultimately be
interpreted by the courts in a manner consistent with the Company's interpre-
tation.
 
  The federal Medicaid regulations also prohibit fraudulent and abusive prac-
tices and authorize the exclusion from such program of providers in violation
of such regulations.
 
 State Legislation
 
  Some of the states in which the Company operates have laws that prohibit
corporations and other entities from employing physicians and practicing medi-
cine for a profit or that prohibit certain direct and indirect payments or
fee-splitting arrangements between health care providers that are designed to
induce or encourage the referral of patients to, or the recommendation of,
particular providers for medical products and services. In addition, some
states restrict certain business relationships between physicians and pharma-
cies. Possible sanctions for violation of these restrictions include loss of
licensure and civil and criminal penalties. These statutes vary from state to
state, are often vague and have seldom been interpreted by the courts or regu-
latory agencies. Although the Company exercises care in an effort to structure
its arrangements with health care providers to comply with the relevant state
statutes, and although management believes that the Company is in compliance
with these laws, there can be no assurance that (i) governmental officials
charged with responsibility for enforcing these laws will not assert that the
Company or certain transactions in which it is involved are in violation of
such laws and (ii) such state laws will ultimately be interpreted by the
courts in a manner consistent with the practices of the Company.
 
 Health Care Reform
 
  Health care, as one of the largest industries in the United States, contin-
ues to attract much legislative interest and public attention. In recent
years, an increasing number of legislative proposals have been introduced or
proposed in Congress and in some state legislatures that would effect major
changes in the health care system, either nationally or at the state level.
Among the proposals under consideration are cost controls on hospitals, insur-
ance market reforms to increase the availability of group health insurance to
small businesses, requirements that all businesses offer health insurance cov-
erage to their employees and the creation of a single government health insur-
ance plan that would cover all citizens. The costs of certain proposals would
be funded in significant part by reductions in payments by governmental pro-
grams, including Medicare and Medicaid, to health care providers such as hos-
pitals. There can be no assurance that future health care legislation or other
changes in the administration or interpretation of governmental health
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
care programs will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's busi-
ness, financial condition or results of operations.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  The Company is subject to various federal, state and local statutes and or-
dinances regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. Manage-
ment does not believe that the Company will be required to expend any material
amounts in order to comply with these laws and regulations or that compliance
will materially affect its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive posi-
tion.
 
INSURANCE
 
  As is typical in the health care industry, the Company is subject to claims
and legal actions by patients in the ordinary course of business. Through a
wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, the Company insures a substantial portion
of its general and professional liability risks. The Company's health care fa-
cilities are insured by the insurance subsidiary for losses of up to $25 mil-
lion per occurrence. The Company also maintains general and professional lia-
bility insurance with unrelated commercial carriers for losses in excess of
amounts insured by its insurance subsidiary.
 
  The Company and its insurance subsidiary maintain allowances for loss for
professional and general liability risks which totalled $1.2 billion at Decem-
ber 31, 1995. Management considers such allowances, which are based on actua-
rially determined estimates, to be adequate for such liability risks. Any
losses incurred in excess of the established allowances for loss will be re-
flected as a charge to earnings of the Company. Any losses incurred in excess
of amounts funded and maintained with commercial excess liability insurance
carriers will be funded from the Company's working capital. While the
Company's cash flow has been adequate to provide for alleged and unforeseen
liability claims in the past, there can be no assurance that such amounts will
continue to be adequate. If payments for general and professional liabilities
exceed anticipated losses, the results of operations and financial condition
of the Company could be adversely affected.
 
EMPLOYEES AND MEDICAL STAFFS
 
  At December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 240,000 employees, in-
cluding approximately 77,000 part-time employees. Employees at 14 hospitals
are represented by various labor unions. The Company considers its employee
relations to be satisfactory. While the Company's hospitals experience union
organizational activity from time to time, the Company does not expect such
efforts to materially affect its future operations. The Company's hospitals,
like most hospitals, have experienced labor costs rising faster than the gen-
eral inflation rate. In recent years, the Company generally has not experi-
enced material difficulty in recruiting and retaining employees, including
nurses and professional staff members, primarily as a result of staff reten-
tion programs and general economic conditions. There can be no assurance as to
future availability and cost of qualified medical personnel.
 
  The Company's hospitals are staffed by licensed physicians who have been ad-
mitted to the medical staff of individual hospitals. With limited exceptions,
physicians generally are not employees of the Company's hospitals. However,
some physicians provide services in the Company's hospitals under contracts,
which generally describe a term of service, provide and establish the duties
and obligations of such physicians, require the maintenance of certain perfor-
mance criteria and fix compensation for such services. Any licensed physician
may apply to be admitted to the medical staff of any of the Company's hospi-
tals, but admission to the staff must be approved by the hospital's medical
staff and the appropriate governing board of the hospital in accordance with
established credentialling criteria. Members of the medical staffs of the
Company's hospitals often also serve on the medical staffs of other hospitals,
and may terminate their affiliation with a hospital at any time.

  As a result of examinations by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") of
HCA's federal income tax returns, HCA received statutory notices of deficiency
for the years 1981 through 1988. HCA has filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court
opposing these claimed deficiencies. Additionally, the IRS completed its exam-
ination for the years 1989 and 1990 and has issued proposed adjustments, which
HCA has protested. In the aggregate, the IRS is claiming additional taxes and
interest of approximately $600 million. Management of the Company is of the
opinion that HCA has properly reported its income and paid its taxes in accor-
dance with applicable laws and in accordance with agreements established with
the IRS during previous examinations. In management's opinion, the final out-
come from the IRS's examinations of prior years' income taxes will not have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or
liquidity of the Company. If all or the majority of the positions of the IRS
are upheld, however, the financial position, results of operations and liquid-
ity of the Company could be materially adversely affected. Management believes
that any cash payments necessary as a result of such final outcome would be
funded with cash from operations and, if necessary, with amounts available un-
der the Company's revolving credit or other borrowing facilities.
 
  Certain actions or events both in and beyond the control of the Company
could render the Spinoff or certain related transactions taxable. In connec-
tion with the Spinoff, Humana received rulings from the IRS to the effect,
among other things, that the Spinoff was tax-free under Section 355 of the In-
ternal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Prior to the Galen Merg-
er, Galen received a supplemental tax ruling that the Galen Merger would not
alter such tax rulings. Although generally binding on the IRS, each of the tax
rulings and the supplemental tax ruling is subject to the accuracy of certain
factual representations and assumptions contained in the ruling requests made
by Humana and Galen. While the Company is not aware of any facts or circum-
stances which would cause such representations and assumptions to be inaccu-
rate, there can be no assurances in this regard. Each of Galen and Humana
would be liable for the full amount of any tax if the Spinoff were held tax-
able, although as between Galen and Humana, Galen would be liable for approxi-
mately 61% of that tax under a Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement en-
tered into in connection with the Spinoff (unless the Spinoff became taxable
by reason of actions or events deemed to be in the control of Galen, in which
event Galen would be responsible for 100% of such tax).
 
ERISA MATTERS
 
  In connection with the Healthtrust Formation in 1987, Healthtrust's Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") purchased approximately 50.9 million shares
of Healthtrust common stock for $810 million. The purchase price was based on
the determination of the committee administering the ESOP (the "ESOP Commit-
tee") as to the fair market value of such shares at that time. Based on such
determination, and subject to limitations contained in the Code, Healthtrust
has claimed income tax deductions for contributions to the ESOP for the years
to which such contributions relate. Contributions to the ESOP were used by the
ESOP to pay interest and principal on the loans owed to Healthtrust. These
payments were in turn used by Healthtrust to pay interest and principal on the
ESOP term loans under a Healthtrust bank credit agreement and certain other
indebtedness related to the ESOP. As a result, Healthtrust was effectively
able to obtain a deduction for principal, as well as interest payments, on
ESOP related borrowings. If the ESOP Committee's determination of fair market
value was incorrect, Healthtrust's contribution to the ESOP may not be fully
deductible, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
  It was intended that qualified holders of the ESOP term loans and the other
indebtedness incurred in connection with the ESOP be entitled to exclude from
taxable income 50% of the interest received on such indebtedness. In addition,
the loans to the ESOP and the purchase of
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
Healthtrust common stock by the ESOP were intended to qualify for exemption
from the "prohibited transaction" rules under the Code and the Employee Re-
tirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), which rules gener-
ally prohibit sale and loan transactions between an employer and a qualified
retirement plan. The 50% interest exclusion and the prohibited transaction ex-
emption were available only if the plan was designed to invest primarily in
"employer securities". It is likely that if Healthtrust and HCA were deemed to
have been members of the same "controlled group of corporations" for purposes
of the relevant section in the Code or ERISA, the stock of HCA, and not
Healthtrust's common stock, would have been "employer securities" for these
purposes. Healthtrust and HCA concluded that they were not in the same "con-
trolled group of corporations" (as defined in Section 409(l) of the Code). If,
notwithstanding such conclusion, HCA's common stock were deemed to have been
"employer securities" for such purposes, there could be severe adverse conse-
quences to Healthtrust, including violation of the prohibited transaction
rules discussed above (which could subject Healthtrust or other disqualified
persons with respect to the ESOP to an excise tax and could require that cer-
tain corrective action be taken) and retroactive increases in the rate of in-
terest payable on certain of Healthtrust's previously outstanding ESOP related
indebtedness as a result of the loss of the 50% interest exclusion. In addi-
tion, the 50% interest exclusion and the prohibited transaction exemption were
available only if the price paid by the ESOP reflected the fair market value
of the employer securities as determined in good faith by the plan fiducia-
ries. Accordingly, if the ESOP Committee's determination of fair market value
was incorrect, the 50% interest exclusion might not have been fully available
and Healthtrust or other disqualified persons may have committed prohibited
transactions, either of which events could have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
 
  The purchase of EPIC common stock by the EPIC Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(the "EPIC ESOP") in connection with EPIC's acquisition (the "EPIC Formation")
of its facilities from American Medical International, Inc. ("AMI") in 1988
was structured in a manner similar to the purchase of Healthtrust common stock
by the ESOP in connection with the Healthtrust Formation and was intended to
(i) qualify for exemption from the "prohibited transaction" rules of the Code
and ERISA, (ii) permit EPIC to deduct for federal income tax purposes its con-
tributions to the EPIC ESOP used to pay principal and interest on loans made
by EPIC to the EPIC ESOP and (iii) permit qualified holders of indebtedness
incurred in connection with the EPIC ESOP to benefit from the 50% interest ex-
clusion provision referred to above. Exemption from the prohibited transaction
rules and the availability of the ESOP related benefits described above de-
pends on (i) the amount the EPIC ESOP paid for EPIC common stock not having
exceeded the fair market value of that EPIC common stock, (ii) the EPIC common
stock being "employer securities" and (iii) compliance with the other relevant
provisions of the Code and ERISA. If (i) the EPIC ESOP paid an amount in ex-
cess of fair market value for the EPIC common stock, (ii) the EPIC common
stock were to fail to qualify as "employer securities" or (iii) the EPIC ESOP
were to fail to comply with the other relevant provisions of the Code or
ERISA, such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

  In addition to the hospitals listed in the above table, the Company operates
more than 135 outpatient surgery centers. The Company also operates medical
office buildings in conjunction with its hospitals. These office buildings are
primarily occupied by physicians who practice at the Company's hospitals.

  The Company owns and maintains its headquarters in approximately 400,000
square feet of space in four office buildings in Nashville, Tennessee.
 
  The Company's headquarters, hospitals and other facilities are suitable for
their respective uses and are, in general, adequate for the Company's present
needs.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
  The Company is currently, and from time to time, subject to claims and suits
arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims for personal in-
juries or for wrongful restriction of, or interference with, physicians' staff
privileges. In certain of these actions the claimants have asked for punitive
damages against the Company, which are usually not covered by insurance. In
the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of any of these pending
claims and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.
 
  A class action styled Mary Forsyth et al. v. Humana Inc. et al., Case #CV-S-
89-249-PMP (L.R.L.), was filed on March 29, 1989, in the United States Dis-
trict Court for the District of Nevada (the "Forsyth" case). On August 12,
1991, a Second Amended Complaint was filed in the Forsyth case which signifi-
cantly increased the amount of damages claimed by the plaintiffs in previously
filed complaints. The claimed damages increased from $10 million to
$84,520,143 in connection with a count which alleges a violation of the Em-
ployee Retirement Income Security Act (the "ERISA Count"); from $10 million to
$181,034,570 (before trebling) in connection with an alleged violation of the
Sherman Anti-Trust Act (the "Anti-Trust Count"); and from $10 million to
$181,034,570 (before trebling) for an alleged violation of the Racketeer In-
fluenced and Corrupt Organization Act (the "RICO Count"). In late March 1992,
as part of the discovery process, the plaintiffs provided information in re-
gard to their calculation of damages which indicates they are seeking recovery
of $49,440,000 of damages plus approximately $15,396,000 of interest in the
ERISA Count and $103,562,165 of damages (before trebling) plus approximately
$31,800,000 of interest in the RICO Count. Specific amounts were not readily
apparent for the Anti-Trust Count but it appears the plaintiffs believe their
claimed damages in the Anti-Trust Count would be similar to those in the RICO
Count. The ERISA Count, which is being asserted by the Co-Payer Class, claims
that Humana Inc. ("Humana") violated a fiduciary duty in connection with (i)
the calculation of co-insurance payments required under policies issued by
Humana's insurance subsidiary ("Humana Insurance") for insureds who were
treated at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas (now owned by the Company), and (ii)
payments to the hospital by Humana Insurance. The Anti-Trust Count, which is
being asserted by the Premium Payer Class, alleges that Sunrise Hospital has
monopolized or has attempted to monopolize the for-profit, acute care hospital
services market in Clark County, Nevada, and that Humana Insurance engaged in
predatory pricing in connection with the sale of insurance policies to members
of such class. The plaintiffs have also indicated damages with respect to the
Co-Payer Class. The RICO Count, which is being asserted by both the Premium
Payer and Co-Payer Classes, alleges fraud in connection with (i) the sale of
insurance policies to members of the Premium Payer Class and (ii) the calcula-
tion of the co-insurance payments. On June 22, 1992, defendants filed a Motion
for Summary Judgment on all three counts of the Complaint. On July 21, 1993,
Summary Judgment was entered in favor of defendants on all counts, although
the Court allowed the Co-Payer Class to file a Third Amended Complaint. On Au-
gust 24, 1993, the plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint against Humana
Insurance, seeking to recover at least $2,000,000, plus interest, which repre-
sents the difference between their co-insurance payments and what the payments
would have been if calculated based on the discounted payments made by Humana
Insurance to Sunrise Hospital. The plaintiffs filed a Motion for Summary Judg-
ment on the Third Amended Complaint on November 10, 1993. The Court granted
the plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment on June 3, 1994. The plaintiffs
have
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
appealed the grant of defendants Motion for Summary Judgment on the RICO Count
and the Anti-Trust Count. The matter was argued before the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals on December 4, 1995. There has been no ruling as of the date here-
of. Pursuant to an Assumption of Liabilities and Indemnification Agreement en-
tered into in connection with the Spinoff, Humana assumed approximately 39%
and Galen assumed approximately 61% of all liabilities, costs and expenses
arising out of certain identified legal proceedings and claims, including the
Forsyth case.
 
  A class action, In re Medical Care America, Inc. Securities Litigation, is
pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Tex-
as, Dallas Division (Civil Action No. 3-92-CV-1996-R). A class has been certi-
fied by the Court consisting of all persons who owned securities of Medical
Care America, Inc. ("MCA") at the close of trading on September 24, 1992 and
who acquired those securities either in purchases in the open market following
the September 9, 1992 merger of Medical Care International, Inc. ("MCI") and
Critical Care America, Inc. ("CCA") forming MCA or through exchange of their
securities in said companies pursuant to the merger, and who allegedly sus-
tained damages as a result of such purchases, subject to certain exclusions
(the "Class Members"). The named defendants include MCA, MCI, CCA as well as
certain officers and/or directors of MCA, MCI or CCA. The plaintiffs seek to
recover damages sustained by Class Members as a result of alleged violations
by the defendants of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule
10b-5 promulgated thereunder. In addition, the complaint asserts claims under
the state law of Texas which have not been certified for class treatment at
the present time, without prejudice to any party's rights regarding certifica-
tion of such claims in the future. The complaint alleges a course of conduct
in which the defendants knowingly or recklessly failed to state material in-
formation and released false and misleading information to the investing pub-
lic, regarding the earnings, profitability and business prospects of MCA and
of MCI and CCA prior to their merger. The plaintiffs allege that, as a result
of this false and misleading information, the market price of MCA securities
was artificially inflated throughout the class period. The plaintiffs further
allege that, upon the dissemination on September 25, 1992 of the true facts
concerning MCA's earnings, profitability and business prospects, the market
price of MCA common stock dropped precipitously, resulting in a significant
market loss of over $1 billion, and causing damages to plaintiffs and the
other Class Members. The litigation has been tentatively settled for $60 mil-
lion. The settlement is subject to the approval of the Court as well as a ma-
jority of the Class Members.
 
  A lawsuit captioned United States of America ex rel. James Thompson v.
Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation et al., was filed on March 10, 1995 in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Corpus
Christi Division (Civil Action No. C-95-110). The lawsuit is a qui tam action
brought by a private party (or "relator") on behalf of the United States of
America. The relator claims that the defendants (the Company and certain sub-
sidiaries and affiliated partnerships) engaged in a widespread strategy to pay
physicians money for referrals and engaged in other conduct to induce refer-
rals, such as: (i) offering physicians equity interests in hospitals; (ii) of-
fering loans to physicians; (iii) paying money under the guise of "consulta-
tion fees" to physicians to guarantee their capital investment; (iv) paying
consultation fees, rent or other monies to physicians; (v) providing free or
reduced rate rents for office space; (vi) providing free or reduced-rate vaca-
tions and trips; (viii) providing income guarantees; and (ix) granting physi-
cians exclusive rights to perform procedures in particular fields of practice.
The lawsuit is premised on alleged violations of the False Claims Act, 31
U.S.C. (S)3729 et seq. The complaint seeks damages of three times the amount
of all Medicare claims (involving false claims) presented by the defendants to
the federal government, a civil penalty of not less than $5,000 nor more than
$10,000 for each such Medicare or Medicaid claim, attorneys' fees and costs.
Although expressly permitted to do so, the United States has thus far declined
to intervene in the case and assume prosecution of the claims asserted by the
relator. The defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint
on November 29, 1995. Discovery has been stayed pending a ruling
 
                                      21

on the motion. The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint are
without merit and intends to pursue the defense of this action vigorously.

                      Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation
                      1995 Management Stock Purchase Plan


1.   Purposes;  Construction.
     -----------------------

     This Plan shall be known as the "Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation 1995
     Management Stock Purchase Plan" and is hereinafter referred to as the
     "Plan". The purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain highly-qualified
     executives, to align executive and stockholder long-term interests by
     creating a direct link between executive compensation and stockholder
     return, to enable executives to develop and maintain a substantial share
     ownership position in Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation (the "Company"),
     and to provide incentives to such executives to contribute to the success
     of the Company's business. The provisions of the Plan are intended to
     satisfy the requirements of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934, as amended from time to time (the "Exchange Act"), and shall be
     interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements thereof, as now or
     hereafter construed, interpreted and applied by regulation, rulings and
     cases.


2.   Administration of the Plan.
     --------------------------

     (a)  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee ("the
          Committee") which consists of two or more directors of the Company,
          none of whom shall be officers or employees of the Company and all of
          whom shall be "disinterested persons" with respect to the Plan within
          the meaning of Rule 16(b) under the Exchange Act. The members of the
          Committee shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board
          of Directors.

     (b)  The Committee shall have plenary authority in its discretion, but
          subject to the express provisions of the Plan, (i) to administer the
          Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities either
          specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in
          the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, to
          interpret the Plan; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
          regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the terms and
          provisions of the Agreements (which need not be identical), and (ii)
          to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the
          administration of the Plan. The Committee's determinations on the
          foregoing matters shall be final and conclusive.

     (c)  No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action
          taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or
          any grant hereunder.

     reacquired by the Company, the Shares so forfeited shall (unless the Plan

5.   Eligibility.
     -----------

     All Company officers shall be eligible to become Participants in this Plan.
     Each Participant may elect to apply an amount equal to not less than 20
     percent of his or her Annual Bonus (less applicable payroll deductions) to
     the receipt of Restricted Shares granted pursuant to, and subject to the
     terms and conditions of this Plan. At the election of any Participant, he
     or she may elect to apply an amount equal to up to 100 percent of the
     Annual Bonus (less applicable payroll deductions) to the receipt of
     Restricted Shares granted pursuant to, and subject to the terms and
     conditions of, this Plan. The amount of the Annual Bonus used to purchase
     such Restricted Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the Company's
     Annual Bonus Plan. Since the Restricted Shares are "purchased" with part or
     all of the Annual Bonus, all Restricted Share grants under this Plan are
     sometimes referred to herein 

                                      A-3
<PAGE>
 
     as "purchases". Any such election shall be made in accordance with rules
     established by the Committee; provided, however, that any such election by
     a Section 16 Person must be made at least six months prior to the day the
     amount of the Section 16 Person's Annual Bonus is finally determined under
     the Annual Bonus Plan. Elections must be irrevocable and made not later
     than 90 days after the commencement of the fiscal year to which the Annual
     Bonus relates (except, in the Committee's discretion, an election as to the
     first Annual Bonus under the Annual Bonus Plan).


6.   Restricted Shares.
     -----------------

     Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
     written Agreement between the Company and Participant, in such form as the
     Committee may from time to time approve, and shall comply with the
     following terms and conditions (and with such other terms and conditions
     not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as the Committee, in its
     discretion, shall establish):

     (a)  Number of Shares.  Each Agreement shall state the number of Restricted
          Shares to be granted.

     (b)  Price.  The price of each Restricted Share granted under the Plan
          shall be discounted 25 percent from its Fair Market Value on the
          relevant valuation date. The relevant valuation date shall be the date
          the Committee designates as the payment date for the Annual Bonus.

     (c)  Restrictions.  Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned,
          transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of (except by
          will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution) during the
          Restricted Period. The Committee may also impose such other
          restrictions and conditions on the Restricted Shares as it deems
          appropriate.

     (d)  Restricted Period.  Subject to such exceptions as may be determined by
          the Committee in its discretion, the Restricted Period for Restricted
          Shares granted under the Plan shall be three years from the date of
          grant.

     (e)  Termination of Employment During Restricted Period.  Except as
          provided in this Section 6(e) or in Section 6(g) hereof, if during the
          Restricted Period a Participant's employment is terminated either (i)
          for Cause by the Company or a Subsidiary or (ii) for any reason by the
          Participant, the Participant shall receive a cash payment equal to the
          lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value on the last day of employment or
          (ii) the aggregate amount of the Annual Bonus applied to the receipt,
          in either case, of all Restricted Shares held by the Participant. Any
          additional value shall be forfeited.

          Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(e) or Section 6(g) hereof,
          if during the Restricted Period a Participant's employment is
          terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause, the
          Participant shall receive a cash payment equal to either 

                                      A-4
<PAGE>
 
          (i) the Fair Market Value on the last day of employment or (ii) the
          aggregate amount of the Annual Bonus applied to the receipt, in either
          case, of all Restricted Shares held by the Participant. The Committee
          shall have the sole discretion as to the amount of the payment. Any
          additional value shall be forfeited.

          If the employment of a Participant holding Restricted Share Units
          terminates during the Restricted Period relating to such Restricted
          Share Units, they shall be treated in a manner substantially
          equivalent to the treatment of Restricted Shares set forth above.

     (f)  Ownership.  At the time of grant of Restricted Shares, a certificate
          representing the number of Shares thereunder shall be registered in
          the name of the Participant. Such certificate shall be held by the
          Company or any custodian appointed by the Company for the account of
          the Participant subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and
          shall bear such a legend setting forth the restrictions imposed
          thereon as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. The
          Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the
          Shares, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote
          such Shares, subject to the following restrictions: (i) the
          Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate
          until the expiration of the Restricted Period and the fulfillment of
          any other restrictive conditions set forth in this Plan or the
          Agreement with respect to such Restricted Shares; (ii) none of the
          Restricted Shares may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
          hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during such
          Restricted Period or until after the fulfillment of any such other
          restrictive conditions; and (iii) except as otherwise determined by
          the Committee, all of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and all
          rights of the Participant to such Shares shall terminate, without
          further obligation on the part of the Company, unless the Participant
          remains in the continuous employment of the Company for the entire
          Restricted Period and unless any other restrictive conditions relating
          to the Restricted Shares are met. Any common stock, any other
          securities of the Company and any other property (except cash
          dividends) distributed with respect to the Restricted Shares shall be
          subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as such
          Restricted Shares.

     (g)  Accelerated Lapse of Restrictions.  Upon the termination of
          Participant's employment which results from the Participant's death or
          Disability, all restrictions then outstanding with respect to
          Restricted Shares held by such Participant shall automatically expire
          and be of no further force and effect.

     (h)  Termination of Restrictions.  At the end of the Restricted Period and
          provided that any other restrictive conditions of the Restricted
          Shares are met, or at such earlier time as otherwise determined by the
          Committee, all restrictions set forth in the Agreement relating to the
          Restricted Shares or in the Plan shall lapse as to the Restricted
          Shares subject thereto, and a stock certificate for the appropriate
          number of Shares, free of the restrictions and restrictive stock
          legend (other than required under the Securities Act of 1933 or
          otherwise), shall be delivered to the Participant or his or her
          beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.

                                      A-5
<PAGE>
 
     (i)  Retirement of Participant.  Upon retirement of Participant from the
          Company, the Committee shall have the sole discretion as to the status
          of the Restricted Shares.

     (j)  Restricted Share Units.  If, during the Restricted Period relating to
          a Participant's Restricted Shares, the Committee determines that the
          Company may lose its federal income tax deduction in connection with
          the future lapsing of the restrictions on such Restricted Shares
          because of the deductibility cap of Section 162(m) of the Code, the
          Committee, in its discretion, may convert some or all of such
          Restricted Shares into an equal number of Restricted Share Units, as
          to which payment will be postponed until such time as the payment will
          not cause the Company to lose its federal income tax deduction for
          such payment under Section 162(m). Until payment of the Restricted
          Share Units is made, the Participant will be credited with dividend
          equivalents on the Restricted Share Units, which dividend equivalents
          will be converted into additional Restricted Share Units. When payment
          of any Restricted Share Units is made, it will be made in unrestricted
          Shares, except as provided in Section 6(e) or Section 6(h) hereof.

7.   Dilution and Other Adjustments.
     ------------------------------

     In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
     recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or other change in corporate
     structure affecting the Shares, such substitution or adjustment shall be
     made in the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan
     and in the number of Restricted Shares outstanding under the Plan as may be
     determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
     provided that the number of Shares subject to the Plan shall always be a
     whole number.

8.   Payment of Withholding Taxes.
     ----------------------------

     Subject to the requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the
     Committee shall have discretion to permit or require a Participant, on such
     terms and conditions as it determines, to pay all or a portion of any taxes
     arising in connection with a grant of Restricted Shares hereunder or the
     lapse of restrictions with respect thereto by having the applicable
     employer withhold Shares or by the Participant's delivering other Shares
     having a then-current Fair Market Value equal to the amount of taxes to be
     withheld.

9.   No Rights to Employment.
     -----------------------

     Nothing in the Plan or in any grant made or Agreement entered into pursuant
     hereto shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the
     employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or to be entitled to any
     remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Agreement or to
     interfere with, or limit in any way, the right of the Company or any
     Subsidiary to terminate such Participant's employment. Grants made under
     the Plan shall not be affected by any change in duties or position of a
     Participant as long as such Participant continues to be employed by the
     Company or any Subsidiary.

                                      A-6

10.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
     -------------------------------------

     The Board at any time and from time to time may suspend, terminate, modify
     or amend the Plan; provided, however, that an amendment which requires
     stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with Rule
     16(b)-3 or any other law, regulation or stock exchange requirement shall
     not be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders. No
     suspension, termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may
     adversely affect any grants previously made, unless the written consent of
     the Participant is obtained.

11.  Approval of Stockholders.
     ------------------------

     The Plan shall take effect upon its adoption by the Board but the Plan (and
     any purchases made prior to the stockholder approval described in this
     Article) shall be subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of
     the securities of the Company present, or represented, and entitled to vote
     at a meeting of stockholders held in accordance with applicable law, which
     approval must occur within twelve months of the date the Plan is adopted by
     the Board.

12.  Term of the Plan.
     ----------------

     The Plan shall terminate ten years from the date that the Plan was approved
     by the Board. No other grants may be made after such termination, but
     termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the holder of the
     Restricted Shares, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any
     option or other award theretofore granted.

13.  Governing Law.
     -------------

     The Plan and the rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall be
     construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
     Delaware without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof,
     except to the extent that such law is preempted by federal law.

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Employment Agreement is entered into on November 15, 1993 by and 
between Medical Care America Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred 
to as "MCA"), and Donald E. Steen (hereinafter referred to as "Employee"), 
with reference to the following facts:

                                   RECITALS

     A.  MCA desires to employ Employee in the capacity and on the terms and 
conditions hereinafter set forth and Employee is willing to serve in such 
capacity and on such terms and conditions.

     B.  This Agreement shall replace the Employment Agreement dated March 1, 
1993.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT

         (a) Base Salary. MCA shall pay Employee a Base Salary ("Base Salary") 
             -----------
of $495,000 per year. In addition, the Board of Directors of MCA shall, in good 
faith, consider granting increases in such salary based upon such factors as 
Employee's performance and the growth and/or profitability of MCA, but it 

                                      1.
<PAGE>
 
shall have no obligation to grant any such increases in compensation. Such Base 
Salary shall be payable in equal semi-monthly installments on the 15th day and 
the last working day of the month, or at such other times and in such 
installments as may be agreed upon between MCA and Employee. All payments shall 
be subject to the deduction of payroll taxes and similar assessments as required
by law.

         (b) Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, Employee shall be eligible 
             -----     
to receive bonus compensation in such amounts and at such times as the Board of 
Directors of MCA shall, from time to time, determine.

     4.  Expenses and Benefits. Employee is authorized to incur reasonable 
         ---------------------
expenses in connection with the business of MCA, including expenses for 
entertainment, travel and similar matters. MCA will reimburse Employee for such 
expenses upon presentation by Employee of such accounts and records as MCA shall
from time to time require. MCA also agrees to provide Employee with the 
following benefits:

         (a) Automobile. An automobile expense allowance of $1,000.00 per month 
             ----------
to apply towards the cost of acquiring and maintaining an automobile for his use
in performing his duties hereunder, subject to periodic increases by action of 
the Board of Directors.

         (b) Insurance. Major medical health insurance and disability insurance 
             ---------
as currently in place.

         (c) Financial Planning. An allowance for financial planning and tax

planning of $2,500.00 per calendar year.

             -----------------
fitness dues or equipment.

         (e) Employee Benefit Plans. Participation in any other employee benefit
             ----------------------
plans now existing or hereafter adopted by MCA for its employees.

         (f) Other. Such items and benefits as MCA shall, from time to time,
             ----- 
consider necessary or appropriate to assist Employee in the performance of his 
duties.

         (g) Vacations. Employee shall be entitled (in addition to the usual 
             ---------
public holidays) to a paid vacation for a 

                                      2.

<PAGE>
 
period in each calendar year of four weeks, to be taken at such times as may be 
approved by MCA.

         5. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be from the date of this 
            ----
Agreement to November 15, 1996, and shall thereafter be automatically renewed 
for successive two year terms; provided, however, that either party may
terminate this Agreement at any time upon at least 60 days prior written notice.
A determination by MCA to terminate this Agreement may be made only by an
affirmative vote of not less than 75% of the members of the Board of Directors
of MCA then in office. In the event of such termination by MCA, Employee shall
be entitled to severance pay based on his Base Salary at the time of
termination, plus a bonus (payable monthly on a pro rata basis) at a rate equal
to the average annual bonuses paid to Employee for the two calendar years
preceding the date of notice of termination, for a period of 24 months following
termination or until November 15, 1996, whichever is later. Such severance pay
shall be payable in monthly installments and MCA shall continue the benefits set
forth in Sections 4(a) and (b) for the period during which such severance
payments are to be made. In addition, this Agreement shall terminate as provided
for in Section 7 or upon the death of Employee.

         6. Disability.
            ----------
            
            (a) In the event that Employee becomes Permanently Disabled (as
hereinafter defined) during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall continue
in the employ of MCA but his compensation hereunder shall be reduced to three-
fourths of the Base Salary then in effect as set forth in Section 3(a) hereof,
commencing upon the determination of Employee's Permanent Disability and
continuing thereafter until the first to occur of (i) 36 months or (ii) the
death of Employee; and during such period of time, Employee shall not be
entitled to payment of expenses or benefits specified in Section 4 hereof
(except for reimbursement of expenses incurred by Employee prior to becoming
Permanently Disabled), except that MCA shall continue to provide Employee with
the insurance benefits specified in Section 4(b) hereof. The obligation of MCA
for continuation of three-fourths of Employee's Base Salary shall be net of
payments to Employee from the disability insurance referred to in Section 4(b)
hereof .

         (b) Definition of Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms
             ------------------------
"Permanent Disability" or "Permanently Disabled" shall mean three months of 
substantially continuous

                                      3.
<PAGE>
 
disability. Disability shall be deemed "substantially continuous" if, as a 
practical matter, Employee, by reason of his mental or physical health, is 
unable to sustain reasonably long periods of substantial performance of his 
duties. Frequent long illnesses, though different from the preceding illness and
though separated by relatively short periods of performance, shall be deemed to
be "substantially continuous." Disability shall be determined in good faith by 
the Board of Directors, whose decision shall be final and binding upon Employee.
Employee hereby consents to medical examinations by such physicians and medical 
consultants as MCA shall, from time to time, require.

     7.   Termination by MCA.  MCA shall have the right to terminate Employee's 
          ------------------
employment as hereinafter provided.

          (a)   Termination by MCA for Cause.  MCA shall have the right to 
                ----------------------------
terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement for Cause by an affirmative
vote to so terminate by not less than 75% of the members of MCA's Board of
Directors, in which event, no compensation shall be paid or other benefits
furnished to Employee after termination for Cause. Termination for Cause shall
be effective immediately upon notice sent or given to Employee.

          (b)   Definition of Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term 
                ------------------
"Cause" shall mean and be strictly limited to: (i) conviction of a crime 
constituting a felony under state or federal law; (ii) commission of any 
material act of dishonesty against MCA; or (iii) willful and material breach of 
this Agreement by Employee.

     8.   Definition of Change of Control.  For purposes of Section 9 of this 
          -------------------------------
Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean: (i) a change of stock ownership of
MCA of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(a)
of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") and any successor Item of a similar nature; or (ii)
the acquisition of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, by any person
(as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of
securities of MCA representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of MCA's
then outstanding securities; or (iii) a change during any period of two
consecutive years of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of MCA
for any reason, unless the election, or the nomination for election by MCA's
shareholders, of each director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
the directors then still in office who were directors at the

                                      4.

<PAGE>
 
beginning of the period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control 
shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with any merger or similar 
transaction to which MCA is a party if at least one-half of the members of the 
Board of Directors of the ultimate parent corporation of the surviving corporate
group consist of persons who were members of MCA's Board or on the date hereof 
or persons elected or nominated for election by such persons.

     9.   Stock Options.  In the event that MCA elects to terminate this 
          -------------
Agreement pursuant to Section 5 or there shall be a Change of Control of MCA (or
in the event MCA breaches this Agreement by termination of Employee without the 
notice required under Section 5 or without Cause under Section 7), then MCA
shall amend all MCA stock options held by him and all restricted stock awards
made to him (whether issued subject to forfeiture or to be issued when and if
they become vested) so as to (a) cause to vest, immediately prior to the date of
such Change in Control or termination of employment, all such then unvested
stock options and restricted stock awards, and (b) provide Employee 90 days to
exercise such options (or such greater period as may have been provided in the
terms of such options). In addition, MCA will, consistent with all applicable
laws and regulations, use its reasonable efforts to assist Employee in securing
independent third party financing of the funds required by Employee to exercise
all vested but unexercised stock options held by him. If such financing is not
so obtained by Employee, then MCA shall loan to Employee the funds required by
Employee to exercise such options, which loan shall be repayable one year from
the date made, will be secured by MCA's common stock purchased upon exercise of
such options and will bear interest at the prime rate (floating) of Bank One -
Texas, N.A. To the extent that MCA refuses or is unable to comply with the
provisions of Section 9(a) hereof, the time period contemplated in Section 9(b)
shall commence on the date MCA complies with the provisions of said Section
9(a).

     10.  Non-competition and Confidentiality.
          -----------------------------------

          (a)   Non-competition.  Employee recognizes and understands that in 
                ---------------
performing the responsibilities of his employment, he will occupy a position of 
fiduciary trust and confidence, pursuant to which he will develop and acquire 
experience and knowledge with respect to MCA's business.  It is the expressed 
intent and agreement of Employee and MCA that such

                                      5.
<PAGE>
 
knowledge and experience shall be used exclusively in the furtherance of the 
interests of MCA and not in any manner which would be detrimental to MCA's 
interests.  Employee  further understands and agrees that MCA conducts its 
business within a specialized market segment throughout the United States, and 
that it would be detrimental to the interests of MCA if Employee used the 
knowledge and experience which he currently possesses or which he acquires 
pursuant to his employment hereunder for the purpose of directly or indirectly 
competing with MCA, or for the purpose of aiding other persons or entities in so
competing with MCA, anywhere in the United States.  Employee therefore agrees 
that so long as he is employed by MCA and for a period of the greater of (i) the
time Employee is receiving a salary or severance payments or (ii) the time 
granted under Section 9 to Employee to exercise stock options if options are 
exercised or (iii) such time as MCA is loaning money or has a loan outstanding 
to Employee, unless Employee first secures the written consent of MCA, Employee 
will not directly or indirectly invest, engage or participate in or become 
employed by any entity in direct or indirect competition with MCA's business 
(which shall include the ownership and/or operation of outpatient ambulatory 
surgical centers and outpatient eye care services and alternate site infusion 
therapy services) anywhere in the United States, or contract to do so.  These 
non-competition provisions are not to be construed to prohibit Employee from 
being employed in the health care industry, but rather to permit him to be so 
employed so long as such employment does not involve Employee's direct or 
indirect participation in a business which is the same or similar to MCA's 
business (as defined above).  In the event that the provisions of this Section 
10 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations permitted 
by applicable laws, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time 
or geographic limitations permitted by applicable laws.

          (b)   Remedies.  Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained
                --------
in Section 10(a), in view of the nature of the business in which MCA is engaged,
are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of MCA.  
Employee understands that the remedies at law for his violations of any of the 
covenants or provisions of Section 10(a) will be inadequate, that such violation
will cause irreparable injury within a short period of time, and that MCA shall 
be entitled to preliminary injunctive relief against such violation.  Such 
injunctive relief shall be in addition to, and in no way in limitation of, any 
and all other remedies MCA shall have in law and equity for the enforcement of 
those covenants and provisions.

     11.  General Provisions.
          ------------------

                              W I T N E S S E T H
                              -------------------

          WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to recognize the outstanding
contributions made by Employee to Healthtrust, Inc. - The Hospital Company and
to secure the continuation of his services with the Corporation; and

          WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of
the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board"), by unanimous written
consent, authorized and directed the Corporation to enter into an Employment
Agreement with Employee;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
promises and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 
     1.  Terms and Duties
         ----------------

          (a) The Corporation hereby employs Employee for a term commencing on
April 24, 1995, and ending on April 24, 1997 and Employee hereby agrees to serve
as Chairman of the Board of the Corporation during said period upon the terms
and conditions herein contained.  As used in this Agreement, the phrase "term of
this Agreement" shall mean the period of time from April 24, 1995, to April 24,
1997, unless the parties agree to extend this Agreement, pursuant to Paragraph
1(c) below, in which case the term of this Agreement shall also include the
extension of such period pursuant to such agreement.

          (b) During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall perform such
duties and assignments for the Corporation as may be determined from time to
time by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and as are reasonable and
customary for a full-time Chairman of the Board.

          (c) The Corporation and Employee hereby acknowledge that this
Agreement may be extended for an additional period, provided both parties agree
on the terms and conditions in writing at any time prior to April 24, 1997.

     2.   Minimum Base Compensation, Bonus and Severance Payments
          -------------------------------------------------------

          (a) Commencing as of April 24, 1995, the Corporation agrees to pay
Employee a base salary (in addition to the other compensation and benefits
provided herein) at the rate per year of $800,000.00.  Commencing as of July 1,
1995, the Corporation agrees to pay Employee a base salary (in addition to the
other compensation and benefits proposed herein) at the rate per year of
$600,000.00. Employee's annual base salary payable pursuant to this Paragraph
(including any changes thereto pursuant to Paragraph 2(b) below) is hereinafter
sometimes referred to as "Employee's Base Compensation".  Employee's Base
Compensation shall be payable in accordance with the customary payroll practices
of the Corporation, but in no event less frequently than monthly.  During the
term of this Agreement, the Compensation Committee may increase but not decrease
Employee's Base Compensation at any time by such amounts as it deems proper.

          (b) Employer shall be eligible to receive such bonus awards or other
incentive compensation as shall be determined from time to time by the
Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.  Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall preclude the Board from eliminating, reducing or otherwise
changing any term or condition of any such bonus award.

          (c) The Corporation and the Employee hereby agree to terminate the
Severance Protection Agreement (the "Severance Agreement") dated as of October
1, 1994 between Employee and Healthtrust, Inc. - The Hospital Company
("Healthtrust") in consideration of the payment by the Corporation to Employee
of the sum of $2,400,000.  The payment by the Corporation to the Employee shall
be made on or about July 1, 1995.  The Employee agrees that acceptance of the
$2,400,000 from the Company, or any subsidiary thereof, constitutes the entire
obligation of the Company, and any subsidiary thereof, to the Employee and
constitutes full settlement of any claim for severance pay under the Severance
Agreement.  Furthermore, the payment of the sum of $2,400,000 shall be in lieu
of any other severance or termination pay to which the Employee may be entitled.

          (d) The restricted period with respect to the 20,115 shares of
Restricted Stock of the Corporation held by the Employee pursuant to the
Healthtrust Restricted Stock Program is hereby accelerated to vest as of July 1,
1995.

     3.   Participation in Benefit Plans
          ------------------------------

          While employed under this Agreement, Employee shall be eligible to
participate in all executive compensation and employee benefit plans or programs

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
generally applicable to senior management employees of the Corporation. Except
as otherwise provided herein, any such participation shall be in accordance with
the provisions of such plans or programs and nothing contained in this Agreement
is intended to or shall be deemed to affect adversely any of the Employee's
rights as a participant under any such plan or program. Nothing in this
Agreement shall preclude the Corporation from terminating or amending any such
plan or program so as to eliminate, reduce or otherwise change any benefit
payable thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall continue to
receive, during the term of this Agreement and at the Corporation's expense,
bookkeeping services, an auto allowance, medical spending account benefits, and
executive disability benefits substantially similar to those which he was
entitled to receive at Healthtrust.

     4.   Vacation
          --------

          Employee shall be entitled to vacation in accordance with the policies
of the Corporation in effect from time to time.

     5.   Reimbursement of Business Expenses
          ----------------------------------

          Employee is authorized to incur reasonable expenses related to and for
promoting the business of the Corporation, including expenses for entertainment,
travel and similar items, and any such expenses paid by Employee from his own
funds shall be promptly reimbursed to him by the Corporation in accordance with
the policies and procedures of the Corporation in effect from time to time.

     6.   Source of Payments
          ------------------

          In any case where coverage or benefits are required to be provided
under this Agreement but cannot be provided in accordance with the terms of the
Corporation's plans which are maintained for the Corporation's senior executive
or other employees generally, or both, such coverage and benefits shall be
provided from the general assets of the Corporation.  No special or separate
fund shall be established and no other segregation of assets shall be made to
assure the payment of any such amounts.  To the extent that any person acquires
a right to receive payments from the Corporation under this Agreement, such
right shall be no greater that the right of an unsecured general creditor of the
Corporation.

     7.   Termination by the Corporation of Employee's Employment for Cause
          -----------------------------------------------------------------

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Corporation shall have the right to terminate Employee's employment upon written

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
notice to Employee that the Board has found, based upon reasonable evidence
presented in writing to Employee, that Employee has materially breached this
Agreement by engaging in dishonest or fraudulent actions or willful misconduct
or has materially harmed the Corporation by performing his duties in a grossly
negligent manner. Employee shall upon receipt of such written notice and
evidence immediately cease to be an employee of the Corporation.

          (b) In case of a termination by the Corporation on account of a breach
hereunder pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) above, the Corporation's obligations to
Employee under this Agreement shall cease upon the effective date of such
termination and the Corporation shall not be liable to continue paying Employee
the Employee's Base Compensation nor shall Employee be entitled to any rights or
benefits pursuant to Paragraph 3 above, other than as may be provided under the
terms of such plans which are generally applicable to participants who have
terminated employment under similar circumstances.

     8.   Disability
          ----------

          (a) In the event of the total disability (as hereinafter defined) of
Employee during the term of this Agreement, the Corporation shall continue to
pay Employee's Base Compensation and shall continue Employee's participation in
its various executive compensation and employee benefit plans and programs
pursuant to Paragraph 3 above during the period of his total disability until
the end of the term of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event
Employee is totally disabled for a continuous period exceeding one hundred fifty
(150) days the Corporation may, at its election, terminate Employee's employment
upon thirty (30) days' written notice, in which event Employee shall be entitled
to receive the benefits described in Paragraph 8(b) below.  As used in this
Agreement, the term "total disability" shall mean the complete inability of
Employee to perform all of the duties of his position with the Corporation by
reason of any physical or mental ailment.

          (b) In the event that Employee is totally disabled for a period
described in Paragraph 8(a) above and the Corporation elects to terminate
Employee's employment, the Corporation shall continue to pay Employee a
disability benefit ("Disability Benefit") equal to Employee's Base Compensation
in effect at the time of such termination for the greater of (i) the entire term
of this Agreement and (ii) one year from the date of termination.  Payment of
the Disability Benefit under this Paragraph 8(b) shall commence within thirty
(30) days of the termination of Employee's employment under Paragraph 8(a)
above.  In addition, Employee's participation (including dependent coverage) in
any life, accident, disability, health and dental insurance plans, and any other
similar welfare plans of the Corporation in effect immediately prior to the
effective date of the termination shall be continued, or 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
equivalent benefits provided, by the Corporation during the period in which the
Disability Benefit is paid at no cost to Employee or his dependents.

          (c) If Employee becomes entitled to and receives other disability
benefits under any disability payment plan paid for by the Corporation,
including disability insurance, the Disability Benefit otherwise payable by the
Corporation to Employee pursuant to Paragraph 8(b) above shall be reduced (but
not below zero) by the amount of any such other disability benefits received by
him, but only to the extent such benefits are attributable to payments made by
the Corporation.

     9.   Death
          -----

          If Employee should die during the term of this Agreement, the
Corporation shall continue to pay his estate or designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries a death benefit ("Death Benefit") equal to Employee's Base
Compensation in effect at the date of his death for the greater of (i) the
entire term of this Agreement or (ii) one year from the date of his death.
Payment of the Death Benefit shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date
of Employee's death.  The Corporation shall also pay Employee's estate or
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries such other death benefits as become
payable under the terms of such travel accident, life insurance, and employee
stock ownership plan, and other executive compensation and employee benefit
plans and programs of the Corporation in which Employee was a participant on his
date of death. In addition, dependant coverage provided by any life, accident,
disability, health and dental insurance plans, and any other similar welfare
plans of the Corporation in effect immediately prior to the date of Employee's
death shall be continued, or equivalent benefits provided, by the Corporation
during the period in which the Death Benefit is paid at no cost to Employee or
his dependents.

     10.  Board Membership
          ----------------

          In any instance where employee ceases to be an employee of the
Corporation pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) of this Agreement and if Employee is then
a member of the Board, Employee hereby agrees that, unless otherwise requested
by the Board, he shall simultaneously submit his resignation as a member of the
Board in writing on or before the date he ceases to be an employee of the
Corporation.  If Employee fails or neglects to submit such resignation in
writing, this Paragraph 10 may be deemed by the Corporation to constitute
Employee's written resignation as a member of the Board effective on the same
date that Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation.  If Employee
ceases to be an employee of the Corporation for any other reason, he shall not
be required to resign as a member of the Board.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
     11.  Waiver
          ------

          Failure of either party hereto to insist upon strict compliance by the
other party with any term, covenant or condition hereof shall not be deemed a
waiver of such term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or
relinquishment or failure to insist upon strict compliance of any right or power
hereunder at any one time or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of
such right or power at any other time or times.

     12.  Withholding of Taxes
          --------------------

          The Corporation may withhold from any benefits payable under this
Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant
to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

     13.  Facility of Payment
          -------------------

          If the Board shall find that any person to whom any amount is or was
payable hereunder is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or
accident, or is a minor, or has died, then the Board, if it so elects, may
direct that any payment due him or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor has
been made by a duly appointed legal representative) or any part thereof be paid
or applied for the benefit of such person or to or for the benefit of his
spouse, children or other dependents, an institution maintaining or having
custody of such person, any other person deemed by said Board to be a proper
recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment, or any of
them, in such manner and proportion as the Board may deem proper.  Any such
payment shall be in complete discharge of the liability of the Corporation
therefor.

     14.  Prior Agreements
          ----------------

          This instrument sets forth the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

     15.  Consolidation or Merger
          -----------------------

          Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Corporation from
consolidating or merging into or with, or transferring all or substantially all
of its assets to, another corporation or other entity (the "Successor Employer")
which assumes this Agreement and all obligations of the Corporation hereunder by
operation of law or affirmative action.  Upon such a consolidation, merger or
transfer of assets and assumption, the term "Corporation" shall refer to the
Successor Employer and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     16.  Unsecured Creditor Status
          -------------------------

          Employee shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to
any investments which the Corporation may make to aid it in meeting its
obligations under this Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no
action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create
a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and
Employee, his beneficiary, legal representative or any other person.  To the
extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Corporation
under this Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of an
unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.  All payments to be made
hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Corporation and no special
or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made
to assure payment of such amounts.

     17.  Non-Alienation of Benefits
          --------------------------

          Except insofar as applicable law may otherwise require, no amount
payable to or in respect of Employee at any time under this Agreement shall be
subject in any manner to alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment,
bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge or encumbrance of any kind, and any
attempt to so alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, attach, charge or
otherwise encumber any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable
shall be void; provided, however, that nothing in this Paragraph 17 shall
preclude Employee from designating a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any
benefit on his death.

     18.  Benefits
          --------

          Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Corporation, its successors and
assigns, and upon Employee, his beneficiaries, heirs, executors and
administrators.

     19.  Amendment
          ---------

          No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be deemed
effective unless and until executed in writing by Employee and the Corporation.

     20.  Severability
          ------------

          If for any reason any provision of this Agreement shall be held
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement
not held so 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
invalid, and all other such provisions shall to the full extent consistent with
law continue in full force and effect. If any such provision shall be held
invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the remaining portion of
such provision not held so invalid, and the remaining portion of such provision,
together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall likewise to the full
extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

     21.  Headings
          --------

          The headings of paragraphs are included solely for convenience of
reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the
provisions of this Agreement.

                      COLUMBIA/HCA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The Selected Financial Data and the accompanying consolidated financial
statements set forth certain information with respect to the financial posi-
tion, results of operations and cash flows of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corpora-
tion ("Columbia/HCA") which should be read in conjunction with the following
discussion and analysis.
 
BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
Healthtrust Merger
 
  In April 1995, Columbia/HCA completed a merger transaction with Healthtrust,
Inc. -- The Hospital Company ("Healthtrust") (the "Healthtrust Merger"). At
the time of the Healthtrust Merger, Healthtrust operated 117 hospitals (ex-
cluding 2 hospitals which are accounted for using the equity method) and cer-
tain other ancillary health care facilities located in twenty-two states with
annual revenues approximating $3.4 billion. For accounting purposes, the
Healthtrust Merger was treated as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the ac-
companying consolidated financial statements and selected financial and oper-
ating data included in this discussion and analysis give retroactive effect to
the Healthtrust Merger and include the combined operations of Columbia/HCA and
Healthtrust for all periods presented.
 
MCA Merger
 
  In September 1994, Columbia/HCA completed a merger transaction with Medical
Care America, Inc. ("MCA") (the "MCA Merger"). MCA was a national provider of
alternative-site health care services through the operation of free-standing
surgical centers and certain other outpatient ancillary facilities located in
twenty-six states with annual revenues in excess of $400 million. The MCA
Merger was accounted for under the purchase method, and accordingly, the ac-
companying consolidated financial statements and selected financial and oper-
ating data included in this discussion and analysis include the operations of
MCA since September 1, 1994.
 
EPIC Merger
 
  Prior to the merger with Columbia/HCA, Healthtrust completed a merger trans-
action with EPIC Holdings, Inc. ("EPIC") (the "EPIC Merger") in May 1994. EPIC
was a health care services provider that owned and operated 32 general acute
care hospitals with annual revenues in excess of $1 billion. The EPIC Merger
was accounted for under the purchase method, and accordingly, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and selected financial and operating data
included in this discussion and analysis include the operations of EPIC since
May 1, 1994.
 
HCA Merger
 
  Columbia Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia") completed a merger transaction
with HCA -Hospital Corporation of America ("HCA") (the "HCA Merger") in Febru-
ary 1994. At the time of the HCA Merger, HCA operated 97 hospitals located in
twenty-one states with annual revenues in excess of $5 billion. For accounting
purposes, the HCA Merger was treated as a pooling of interests. Accordingly,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements and selected financial and
operating data included in this discussion and analysis give retroactive ef-
fect to the HCA Merger and include the combined operations of Columbia and HCA
for all periods presented.
 
Galen Merger
 
  In September 1993, Columbia Hospital Corporation ("CHC") completed a merger
transaction with Galen Health Care, Inc. ("Galen") (the "Galen Merger") to
form Columbia. At the time of the
 
                                       9

                      COLUMBIA/HCA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND BUSINESS STRATEGY (CONTINUED)
 
Galen Merger, CHC operated 22 hospitals and certain ancillary health care fa-
cilities in five major markets located in Florida and Texas. Annual revenues
of CHC were in excess of $1 billion. Galen operated 71 hospitals located in
eighteen states and two foreign countries with annual revenues of approxi-
mately $4 billion. The Galen Merger was accounted for as a pooling of inter-
ests. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and se-
lected financial and operating data included in this discussion and analysis
give retroactive effect to the Galen Merger and include the combined opera-
tions of CHC and Galen for all periods presented.
 
Spinoff Transaction
 
  Prior to the merger with CHC, Galen became a publicly held corporation on
March 1, 1993 as a result of a tax-free spinoff transaction (the "Spinoff") by
Humana Inc. ("Humana"). The Spinoff separated Humana's previously integrated
hospital and managed care health plan businesses and was effected through the
distribution of Galen common stock to then current Humana common stockholders
on a one-for-one basis. For accounting purposes, because of the relative sig-
nificance of the hospital business, the pre-Spinoff financial statements of
Galen (and now those of Columbia/HCA) include the separate results of Humana's
hospital business, while the operating results and net assets of Humana's man-
aged care health plans have been classified as discontinued operations.
 
Business Strategy
 
  Columbia/HCA's business strategy centers on working with physicians and
other health care providers to develop comprehensive, integrated health care
delivery networks in targeted markets. This strategy typically involves sig-
nificant health care facility acquisition and consolidation activities.
 
  During the past several years, hospital industry inpatient admission trends
have been adversely impacted by cost containment efforts initiated by federal
and state governments and various third-party payers, including health mainte-
nance organizations, preferred provider organizations, commercial insurance
companies and employer-sponsored networks. In addition, a significant number
of medical procedures have shifted from inpatient to less expensive outpatient
settings as a result of both cost containment pressures and advances in medi-
cal technology.
 
  In response to changes in the health care industry, Columbia/HCA has devel-
oped the following strategy to provide the highest quality health care serv-
ices at the lowest possible cost:
 
  Deliver high quality services -- Through the use of clinical information
systems and continuous quality enhancement programs, Columbia/HCA focuses on
patient outcomes and strives to continuously improve the quality of care and
service provided to patients.
 
  Become a significant provider of services -- Columbia/HCA attempts to (i)
consolidate services to reduce costs and (ii) develop the geographic coverage
necessary for inclusion in managed care and employer-sponsored networks in
each market.
 
  Provide a comprehensive range of services -- In addition to the operation of
general, acute care hospitals, Columbia/HCA also operates psychiatric and re-
habilitation facilities, outpatient sur-gery and diagnostic centers, home
health agencies and other services. This strategy enables Columbia/HCA to at-
tract business from managed care plans and major employers seeking efficient
access to a wide array of health care services.

                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
 Years ended 1995 and 1994
 
  Revenues increased 21.7% to $17.7 billion in 1995 compared to the same pe-
riod last year, primarily as a result of acquisitions (including the EPIC
Merger in May 1994 and the MCA Merger in September 1994) and growth in inpa-
tient and outpatient volumes. On a same-hospital basis, revenues increased
10.2%, admissions increased 4.6% and adjusted admissions (adjusted to reflect
outpatient activity) increased 8.6% from a year ago. The increase in outpa-
tient activity is primarily a result of expanding home health and other outpa-
tient ancillary services.
 
  Income before income taxes increased to $1.8 billion in 1995 from $1.5
billion in 1994 and pretax margins decreased to 10.1% in 1995 from 10.6% in
1994. Excluding the effect of the merger and facility consolidation costs
charged in 1995 and 1994, income before taxes increased 27.4% to $2.2 billion
in 1995 from $1.7 billion in 1994 and pretax margins increased to 12.3% in
1995 from 11.7% in 1994. The improvement in pretax income was attributable to
the combination of growth in revenues and improvements in the margin. Pretax
margins increased due to improvements in productivity and increased discounts
on medical supplies. Salaries and benefits declined as a percentage of
revenues to 40.1% in 1995 from 41.0% in 1994, and supply costs declined as a
percentage of revenues to 14.5% in 1995 compared to 14.7% in 1994. The
improvement in pretax margins was partially offset by an increase in other
operating expenses as a percentage of revenues to 19.4% in 1995 from 18.8% in
1994. This was due, in part, to the outsourcing of certain services.
 
  Income before extraordinary charges increased 14.6% to $1.1 billion ($2.37
per share) during 1995 compared to $929 million ($2.16 per share) in 1994. Ex-
cluding the effects of the merger and facility consolidation costs charged in
1995 and 1994, income before extraordinary charges increased 26.0% to $1.3
billion ($2.90 per share) in 1995 compared to $1.0 billion ($2.40 per share)
in 1994.
 
  During 1995, Columbia/HCA recorded $105 million of pretax charges incurred
in connection with the Healthtrust Merger. These costs included severance
costs, investment advisory fees, and certain charges based upon management's
implementation of actions to reduce corporate overhead costs and consolidate
management information systems. In addition, pretax charges of $282 million
were recorded to writedown assets to estimated net realizable value in connec-
tion with management's plans to consolidate duplicative facilities and replace
facilities in certain markets.
 
  During 1994, Columbia/HCA recorded $159 million (before income taxes) of
merger and facility consolidation costs in connection with the HCA Merger.
 
  In connection with the Healthtrust Merger, approximately $1.8 billion of
Healthtrust's debt was refinanced to reduce future interest expense and elimi-
nate certain restrictive covenants, resulting in an after-tax charge of $103
million ($.23 per share).
 
  In connection with the HCA Merger, Columbia/HCA refinanced approximately
$2.2 billion of long-term debt resulting in an after-tax charge of $115 mil-
lion ($.27 per share).
 
 Years ended 1994 and 1993
 
  Revenues increased 14.7% to $14.5 billion in 1994 compared to the same pe-
riod in 1993, primarily as a result of acquisitions (including the MCA and
EPIC Mergers in 1994) and growth in inpatient and outpatient volumes. On a
same-hospital basis, admissions increased 1.9% and outpatient visits increased
34.5% compared to the previous year. The increase in outpatient activity is
primarily a result of expanding home health and other outpatient ancillary
services.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
  Income before income taxes increased to $1.5 billion in 1994 from $1.2 bil-
lion in 1993 and pretax margins increased to 10.6% in 1994 from 9.6% in 1993.
Excluding the effect of the merger and facility consolidation costs charged in
1994 and 1993, income before taxes increased 24.7% to $1.7 billion in 1994
from $1.4 billion in 1993 and pretax margins increased to 11.7% in 1994 from
10.8% in 1993. The improvement in pretax income was attributable to the combi-
nation of growth in revenues and reductions in interest expense resulting from
financing activities in 1994. In addition, pretax margins also increased due
to increased discounts on medical supplies. Supply costs declined as a per-
centage of revenues to 14.7% in 1994 compared to 15.9% in 1993.
 
  Income before extraordinary charges increased 28.9% to $929 million ($2.16
per share) during 1994 compared to $720 million ($1.75 per share) in 1993. Ex-
cluding the effects of the merger and facility consolidation costs charged in
1994 and 1993, income before extraordinary charges increased 25.8% to $1.0
billion ($2.40 per share) in 1994 compared to $818 million ($1.99 per share)
in 1993.
 
  During 1994, Columbia/HCA recorded $159 million (before income taxes) of
merger and facility consolidation costs in connection with the HCA Merger. In
connection with the Galen Merger, Columbia/HCA recorded charges in 1993 total-
ing $151 million (before income taxes).
 
  Columbia/HCA incurred extraordinary charges (net of tax benefits) on early
extinguishments of debt of $115 million in 1994 and $97 million in 1993.
 
LIQUIDITY
 
  Cash provided by continuing operations totaled $2.3 billion in 1995 compared
to $1.7 billion in 1994 and $1.6 billion in 1993. The increase in 1995 over
1994 is primarily due to the cash generated from the hospitals and health care
facilities acquired during 1995.
 
  During 1995, capital expenditures (including acquisitions and investments in
and advances to affiliates) exceeded cash provided by continuing operations by
approximately $1.2 billion. Additional sources of cash used to fund the capi-
tal expenditures include the issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper
borrowings. Cash flows were also used in 1995 and 1994 to fund $83 million and
$146 million, respectively, of self-insured professional liability risks re-
lated to prior years and, in 1993, to finance a payment of $135 million to
Humana in connection with the Spinoff.
 
  Working capital totaled $1.5 billion at December 31, 1995 compared to $1.1
billion at December 31, 1994. Management believes that cash flows from opera-
tions and amounts available under Columbia/HCA's revolving credit facilities
and related commercial paper programs are sufficient to meet expected future
liquidity needs.
 
  A substantial portion of the merger and facility consolidation costs re-
corded during the past three years relate to the writedown of recorded assets
and, accordingly, did not have a material adverse effect on cash flows from
continuing operations.
 
  Investments of Columbia/HCA's professional liability insurance subsidiary to
maintain statutory equity and pay claims totaled $1.2 billion and $973 million
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
  The Company has entered into various joint venture agreements whereby the
partners have an option to sell or "put" their interest in the joint ventures
back to the Company at prices based on fair value. The combined put price of
all negotiated joint ventures is material and could have a significant affect
on the Company's liquidity in the event all put options were exercised at the
same time.

                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED)
 
  In September 1993, the Board of Directors initiated the payment of a regular
quarterly cash dividend of $.03 per common share.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures totaled $1.5 billion in 1995
compared to $1.2 billion in 1994 and $1.1 billion in 1993. Planned capital ex-
penditures in 1996 are expected to approximate $1.7 billion. Management be-
lieves that its capital expenditure program is adequate to expand, improve and
equip existing health care facilities.
 
  Columbia/HCA also expended $1.3 billion, $370 million and $167 million for
acquisitions (excluding the MCA, EPIC, Healthtrust, HCA and Galen Mergers)
during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In addition, Columbia/HCA acquired
investments in and made advances to affiliates for aggregate cash payments of
$609 million in 1995 compared to $6 million in 1994 and $12 million in 1993.
See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description
of these activities.
 
  In connection with the MCA Merger consummated in September 1994 (accounted
for under the purchase method), Columbia/HCA issued approximately 21.1 million
shares of common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of MCA common
stock at an aggregate cost of $912 million.
 
  In connection with the EPIC Merger consummated in May 1994 (accounted for
under the purchase method), Healthtrust paid cash in exchange for all out-
standing shares of EPIC common stock at an aggregate cost of $266 million. The
EPIC Merger was financed through the public offering of 5,262,400 shares of
Healthtrust common stock (effected for the Healthtrust Merger exchange ratio),
borrowings under bank credit agreements and internally generated funds.
 
  As part of its business strategy, Columbia/HCA intends to acquire additional
health care facilities in the future. Since December 31, 1995 (through Febru-
ary 29, 1996), Columbia/HCA has expended $214 million toward the purchase of
five hospitals (or a controlling interest therein). These transactions, which
will be accounted for under the purchase method, were financed through the use
of internally generated funds and issuance of long-term debt.
 
  Columbia/HCA expects to finance all capital expenditures with internally
generated and borrowed funds. Available sources of capital include public or
private debt, commercial paper, unused bank revolving credits and equity. At
December 31, 1995, there were projects under construction which had an esti-
mated additional cost to complete of approximately $923 million.
 
  In connection with the Spinoff, stockholder's equity was reduced by $802
million in 1993 as a result of the following transactions with Humana: (i)
distribution of the net assets of the health plan business ($392 million) and
the net assets of a hospital facility ($25 million), (ii) payment of cash
($135 million) and (iii) issuance of notes ($250 million). The notes were re-
financed in September 1993.
 
  Subsequent to December 31, 1995, Columbia/HCA amended its revolving credit
agreements from an aggregate amount of $3.75 billion to $4.0 billion. The
Credit Facilities comprise a $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit agreement
and a $1.5 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement. The Credit Facilities
were established to support Columbia/HCA's commercial paper programs and re-
place prior revolving credit agreements. As of February 29, 1996, Columbia/HCA
had approximately $1.0 billion of credit available under the revolving credit
agreements.

                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
 
  Columbia/HCA's credit facilities contain customary covenants which include
(i) limitations on additional debt, (ii) limitations on sales of assets, merg-
ers and changes of ownership and (iii) maintenance of certain interest cover-
age ratios. Columbia/HCA was in compliance with all such covenants at December
31, 1995.
 
EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
 
  Various federal, state and local laws have been enacted that, in certain
cases, limit Columbia/HCA's ability to increase prices. Revenues for acute
care hospital services rendered to Medicare patients are established under the
federal government's prospective payment system. Total Medicare revenues ap-
proximated 36% of total revenues in 1995, 35% in 1994 and 34% in 1993.
 
  Management believes that hospital industry operating margins have been, and
may continue to be, under significant pressure because of deterioration in in-
patient volumes, changes in payer mix, and growth in operating expenses in ex-
cess of the increase in prospective payments under the Medicare program. Man-
agement expects that the average rate of increase in Medicare prospective pay-
ments will approximate 2% in 1996. In addition, as a result of increasing reg-
ulatory and competitive pressures, Columbia/HCA's ability to maintain operat-
ing margins through price increases to non-Medicare patients is limited.
 
HEALTH CARE REFORM
 
  In recent years, an increasing number of legislative proposals have been in-
troduced or proposed in Congress and in some state legislatures that would
significantly affect health care systems in Columbia/HCA's markets. The cost
of certain proposals would be funded in significant part by reductions in pay-
ments by government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, to healthcare
providers such as hospitals. While the Company is unable to predict which, if
any, proposals for healthcare reform will be adopted, there can be no assur-
ance that proposals adverse to the business of Columbia/HCA will not be adopt-
ed.
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
  In March 1996, the Tax Court ruled in Columbia/HCA's favor that the use of a
hybrid (primarily the cash basis) method of accounting by certain of HCA's
subsidiaries in calculating taxable income for the years 1981-1986 clearly re-
flected taxable income. Had the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") prevailed
on this issue, Columbia/HCA would have owed $614 million in taxes and inter-
est.
 
  In February 1996, Columbia/HCA reached a partial settlement with the IRS in
connection with examinations of HCA's federal income tax returns for 1981
through 1988. Issues totaling $486 million in potential taxes and interest
payments were settled for approximately $87 million ($75 million paid in March
1994 and $12 million paid in November 1995). The payment and settlement of
these items did not have any effect on the results of operations.
 
  Columbia/HCA is currently contesting income taxes and related interest ag-
gregating approximately $600 million proposed by the IRS for prior years. Man-
agement believes that final resolution of these disputes will not have a mate-
rial adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or li-
quidity of Columbia/HCA. However, if all or a majority of the positions of the
IRS are upheld, the financial position, results of operations and liquidity of
Columbia/HCA could be materially adversely affected.
 
  Resolution of various other loss contingencies, including litigation pending
against Columbia/HCA in the ordinary course of business, is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of opera-
tions.

                      COLUMBIA/HCA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Reporting Entity
 
  Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia/HCA") is a Delaware corpora-
tion that operates hospitals and ancillary health care facilities through (i)
wholly owned subsidiaries, (ii) joint ventures or (iii) ownership of interests
in various partnerships in which subsidiaries of Columbia/HCA serve as the
managing general partner. Columbia/HCA owns and operates 319 hospitals and
more than 130 ambulatory surgery centers. Columbia/HCA is also a partner in
several 50/50 joint ventures that own and operate 19 hospitals and 3 ambula-
tory surgery centers which are accounted for using the equity method. The hos-
pitals and surgery centers are located in 36 states, England and Switzerland.
 
  On April 24, 1995, Columbia/HCA completed a merger transaction with
Healthtrust, Inc. -- The Hospital Company ("Healthtrust") (the "Healthtrust
Merger"). See Note 2 for a description of the specific terms of the
Healthtrust Merger.
 
  On September 16, 1994, Columbia/HCA completed a merger transaction with Med-
ical Care America, Inc. ("MCA") (the "MCA Merger"). See Note 3 for a descrip-
tion of the specific terms of the MCA Merger.
 
  On May 5, 1994, Healthtrust completed a merger transaction with EPIC
Holdings, Inc. ("EPIC") (the "EPIC Merger"). See Note 4 for a description of
the specific terms of the EPIC Merger.
 
  On February 10, 1994, Columbia Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia") completed
a merger transaction with HCA --  Hospital Corporation of America ("HCA") (the
"HCA Merger"). In connection with the transaction, Columbia changed its name
to Columbia/HCA. See Note 5 for a description of the specific terms of the HCA
Merger.
 
  Columbia was formed on September 1, 1993 as a result of a merger involving
Columbia Hospital Corporation ("CHC") and Galen Health Care, Inc. ("Galen")
(the "Galen Merger"). See Note 6 for a description of the specific terms of
the Galen Merger.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accom-
panying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries and less than
100% owned entities controlled by Columbia/HCA. Significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. Investments which Columbia/HCA does not
control, but in which it has a substantial ownership interest and can exercise
significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.
 
  The MCA and EPIC Mergers and various other acquisitions and joint venture
transactions have been accounted for under the purchase method. Accordingly,
the accounts of these entities have been consolidated with those of
Columbia/HCA for periods subsequent to the acquisition of controlling inter-
est.
 
  The Healthtrust, HCA and Galen Mergers have been accounted for by the pool-
ing-of-interests method. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
give retroactive effect to these transactions and include the combined opera-
tions of Healthtrust, HCA, Galen and CHC for all periods presented. In addi-
tion, the historical financial information related to Healthtrust and Galen
(which prior to the respective mergers were reported on a fiscal year ending

                      COLUMBIA/HCA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Revenues
 
  Columbia/HCA's health care facilities have entered into agreements with
third-party payers, including government programs and managed care health
plans, under which Columbia/HCA is paid based upon established charges, cost
of providing services, predetermined rates by diagnosis, fixed per diem rates
or discounts from established charges.
 
  Revenues are recorded at estimated amounts due from patients and third-party
payers for the health care services provided, including anticipated settle-
ments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payers.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased. Carrying values of cash and cash
equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these in-
struments.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
  Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from the Medicare and
Medicaid programs, other government programs, managed care health plans, com-
mercial insurance companies and individual patients.
 
Inventories
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
 
Property and Equipment
 
  Depreciation expense, computed by the straight-line method, was $859 million
in 1995, $722 million in 1994 and $631 million in 1993. Columbia/HCA uses com-
ponent depreciation for buildings. Depreciation rates for buildings are equiv-
alent to useful lives ranging generally from 20 to 25 years. Estimated useful
lives of equipment vary generally from 3 to 10 years.
 
Investments
 
  On December 31, 1993, Columbia/HCA adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"), which requires that investments in
debt and equity securities be classified according to certain criteria.
 
Intangible Assets
 
  Intangible assets consist primarily of costs in excess of the fair value of
identifiable net assets of acquired entities and are amortized using the
straight-line method generally over periods ranging from 30 to 40 years for
hospital acquisitions and periods ranging from 5 to 20 years for physician
practice, home health and clinic acquisitions. To the extent that operating
results indicate the probability that the carrying values of certain long-
lived assets and the related identifiable intangible assets have been im-
paired, Columbia/HCA would prepare projections of the undiscounted cash flows
from operations of the acquired entity over the remaining amortization period.
If the projections indicated that the recorded cost would not be recoverable,
such cost amounts would be reduced to estimated fair value.

                      COLUMBIA/HCA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1 -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
  Noncompete and debt issuance costs are amortized based upon the lives of the
respective contracts or loans.
 
Professional Liability Insurance Claims
 
  Provisions for loss for professional liability risks are based upon actuari-
ally determined estimates. To the extent that subsequent claims information
varies from management's estimates, earnings are charged or credited.
 
Minority Interests in Consolidated Entities
 
  The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, reve-
nues and expenses of less than 100% owned entities controlled by Columbia/HCA.
Accordingly, management has recorded minority interests in the earnings and
equity of such entities.
 
  Columbia/HCA is a party to several partnership agreements which generally
include provisions for the redemption of minority interests using specified
valuation techniques.
 
Earnings per Common and Common Equivalent Share
 
  Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect
of common stock equivalents, consisting primarily of stock options.
 
  Fully diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share are not pre-
sented because such amounts approximate earnings per common and common equiva-
lent share.
 
Newly Issued Accounting Standards
 
  In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Ac-
counting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), was issued which, if
elected, would require companies to use a new fair value method of valuing
stock-based compensation plans. Columbia/HCA has elected to continue following
present accounting rules under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" which uses an intrinsic value
method and often results in no compensation expense. However, in 1996, in ac-
cordance with SFAS 123, Columbia/HCA will provide pro forma disclosure of what
net income and earnings per share would have been had the new fair value
method been used.
 
  In March 1995, Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" ("SFAS 121"), was issued. SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be re-
corded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of.
Columbia/HCA will adopt SFAS 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on
current circumstances, does not believe the effect of adoption will be materi-
al.
 
Reclassifications
 
  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1995
presentation.

NOTE 2 -- HEALTHTRUST MERGER
 
  The Healthtrust Merger was consummated on April 24, 1995. Shares of
Healthtrust common stock were converted on a tax-free basis into approximately
80,411,800 shares of Columbia/HCA voting common stock (an exchange ratio of
0.88 of a share of Columbia/HCA common stock for each share of Healthtrust
common stock).
 
  The Healthtrust Merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and
accordingly, the consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the Healthtrust Merger and include the combined operations of Columbia/HCA and
Healthtrust for all periods presented. The following is a summary of the re-
sults of operations of the separate entities for periods prior to the
Healthtrust Merger (dollars in millions):

NOTE 3 -- MCA MERGER
 
  The MCA Merger was consummated on September 16, 1994. MCA was a national
provider of health care services through the operation of freestanding surgi-
cal facilities.
 
  In connection with the MCA Merger, all outstanding shares of MCA common
stock were converted on a tax-free basis into approximately 21,093,600 shares
of Columbia/HCA voting common stock (an exchange ratio of 0.7042 of a share of
Columbia/HCA common stock for each share of MCA common stock). The following

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 3 -- MCA MERGER (CONTINUED)
 
  The MCA Merger has been accounted for by the purchase method, and according-
ly, the accounts of MCA have been consolidated with those of Columbia/HCA
since September 1, 1994. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired (including property and equipment
of $217 million) approximated $903 million. See Note 10 for pro forma informa-
tion.
 
NOTE 4 -- EPIC MERGER
 
  The EPIC Merger was completed on May 5, 1994. EPIC was a health care serv-
ices provider that owned and operated 32 general acute care hospitals.
 
  In connection with the EPIC Merger, EPIC stockholders were paid $7.00 for
each outstanding share of EPIC common stock (an aggregate cost of $266 mil-
lion, including transaction costs). In addition, Healthtrust assumed approxi-
mately $713 million of EPIC long-term debt, of which approximately $681 mil-
lion was refinanced. The EPIC Merger was financed through the public offering
of 5,262,400 shares of Healthtrust common stock (effected for the Healthtrust
Merger exchange ratio), borrowings under bank credit agreements and internally
generated funds.
 
  The EPIC Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method, and ac-
cordingly, the accounts of EPIC have been consolidated with those of
Columbia/HCA since May 1, 1994. The excess of the aggregate purchase price
over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired (including property and
equipment of $516 million) approximated $577 million. See Note 10 for pro
forma information.
 
NOTE 5 -- HCA MERGER
 
  The HCA Merger was completed on February 10, 1994. In connection with the
HCA Merger, Columbia stockholders approved an amendment to Columbia's Certifi-
cate of Incorporation changing the name of the corporation to "Columbia/HCA
Healthcare Corporation". HCA was then merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of
Columbia/HCA. Shares of HCA Class A voting common stock and Class B nonvoting
common stock were converted on a tax-free basis into approximately 166,846,000
shares of Columbia/HCA voting common stock and approximately 18,990,000 shares
of Columbia/HCA nonvoting common stock, respectively (an exchange ratio of
1.05 shares of Columbia/HCA common stock for each share of HCA voting and non-
voting common stock). The HCA Merger has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests, and accordingly, the consolidated financial statements give retro-
active effect to the HCA Merger and include the combined operations of Colum-
bia and HCA for all periods presented.
 
NOTE 6 -- GALEN MERGER
 
  The Galen Merger was consummated effective as of September 1, 1993. In con-
nection with the Galen Merger, CHC, a Nevada corporation, was merged into Co-
lumbia. Each CHC share of common stock was converted on a tax-free basis into
one share of Columbia common stock. Immediately subsequent thereto, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Columbia was merged into Galen, at which time Galen became
a wholly owned subsidiary of Columbia. In connection with this transaction,
Columbia issued approximately 123,830,000 shares of common stock in a tax-free
exchange for all of the outstanding common shares of Galen (an exchange ratio
of 0.775 of a share of Columbia common stock for each share of Galen common
stock). The Galen Merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and
accordingly, the consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the Galen Merger and include the combined operations of CHC and Galen for all
periods presented.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 7 -- SPINOFF TRANSACTION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
  Prior to the Galen Merger, Galen began operating its hospital business as an
independent publicly held corporation on March 1, 1993 as a result of a tax-
free spinoff transaction (the "Spinoff") by Humana Inc. ("Humana"), which re-
tained its managed care health plan business. The Spinoff separated Humana's
previously integrated hospital and managed care health plan businesses and was
effected through the distribution of Galen common stock to then current Humana
common stockholders on a one-for-one basis.
 
  For accounting purposes, because of the relative significance of the hospi-
tal business, the pre-Spinoff consolidated financial statements of Galen (and
now those of Columbia/HCA) include the separate results of Humana's hospital
business, while the operations and net assets of Humana's managed care health
plans have been classified as discontinued operations.
 
  In connection with the Spinoff, Galen entered into various agreements with
Humana which were intended to facilitate orderly changes for both the hospital
and managed care health plan businesses in a way which would be minimally dis-
ruptive to each entity.
 
  Revenues of the discontinued managed care health plan business (included in
discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of income)
were $523 million in 1993.
 
NOTE 8 -- MERGER AND FACILITY CONSOLIDATION COSTS

</TABLE>
 
  The writedown of assets relates to management's assessment of certain mar-
kets in which there exists duplication of services and excess capacity in hos-
pital facilities. In the identified markets, Columbia/HCA expects to be able
to provide services more cost effectively by eliminating the fixed costs of
the facilities being closed and applying the fixed costs of the other facili-
ties to a larger patient base. The charge that was incurred is the amount con-
sidered necessary to record the identified assets at their estimated net real-
izable value and is substantially a non-cash
charge. Columbia/HCA expects to have all replacement facilities in progress
and to have completed the identified facility consolidations within twelve
months.

NOTE 9 -- OTHER BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
  During the past three years, Columbia/HCA has acquired various hospitals and
related ancillary health care facilities (or controlling interests in such fa-
cilities), all of which have been accounted for by the purchase method. Ac-
cordingly, the aggregate purchase price of these transactions has been allo-
cated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based upon their respective fair values. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of acquired entities since the respective ac-
quisition dates.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 11 -- INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
 
  The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has issued statutory notices of de-
ficiency in connection with its examination of HCA's federal income tax re-
turns for 1981 through 1988. Columbia/HCA is currently contesting these
claimed deficiencies in the United States Tax Court. The IRS has proposed cer-
tain adjustments in connection with its examination of HCA's 1989 and 1990
federal income tax returns. Columbia/HCA is currently contesting the 1989 and
1990 adjustments with the IRS. In August 1995, the IRS issued a statutory no-
tice of deficiency in connection with its examination of HCA's 1991 federal
income tax return. Columbia/HCA is currently contesting the 1991 claimed defi-
ciency in the United States Court of Federal Claims. The following is a dis-
cussion of certain disputed items and information on the settlement of certain
items.
 
1981-1988 Tax Litigation
 
  A Tax Court decision is expected in 1996 regarding disputes over the valua-
tion of the Healthtrust preferred stock and stock purchase warrants HCA re-
ceived in connection with the sale of certain of its subsidiaries to
Healthtrust in 1987, HCA's method of calculating its deduction for doubtful
accounts, the depreciable lives utilized by HCA for constructed hospital fa-
cilities, investment tax credits, vacation pay deductions and income from for-
eign operations. The IRS is claiming an additional $190 million in income
taxes and $256 million in interest through December 31, 1995 with respect to
these issues.
 
  A Tax Court decision is also expected in 1996 regarding HCA's claim that in-
surance premiums paid to its wholly owned insurance subsidiary ("Parthenon")
are deductible. Through December 31, 1995, Columbia/HCA is seeking a refund
totaling $63 million in income taxes and $122 million in interest.
 
Leveraged Buy-out Expenses
 
  The IRS has proposed the capitalization of various expenses incurred in con-
nection with HCA's 1989 leveraged buy-out transaction, which HCA deducted in
calculating taxable income for the years 1989-1991. If the IRS prevails on
these issues, Columbia/HCA would owe additional income taxes of $95 million
and interest of $50 million through December 31, 1995.
 
Tax Court Decision-Method of Accounting
 
  In March 1996, the Tax Court ruled in Columbia/HCA's favor that the use of a
method of accounting, primarily based upon the cash method, by certain of
HCA's subsidiaries in calculating taxable income for the years 1981-1986
clearly reflected taxable income. Had the IRS prevailed on this issue,
Columbia/HCA would have owed $68 million in income taxes and $546 million in
interest as of December 31, 1995. This ruling did not have any effect on the
results of operations.
 
Partial Settlement
 
  In February 1996, HCA and the IRS filed a stipulation of settled issues with
the Tax Court regarding the 1981-1988 tax litigation. As a result of the par-
tial settlement, the following issues have been resolved: (1) in connection
with hospitals acquired by HCA in 1981 and 1985, the allocation of costs to
identifiable intangibles with ascertainable useful lives and to goodwill; (2)
HCA's use of straight-line rather than accelerated depreciation to calculate
its basis in the stock of the subsidiaries sold to Healthtrust in 1987; and
(3) certain investment tax and foreign tax credits which had been previously
disallowed by the IRS. Had the IRS prevailed on these issues, Columbia/HCA
would have owed an additional $197 million in income taxes and $289 million in
interest as of December 31, 1995. Columbia/HCA paid $38 million in income
taxes and $49

million of interest ($75 million paid in March 1994 and $12 million paid in
November 1995) in settlement of these issues. The payment and settlement of
these items did not have any effect on the results of operations.
 
  Management believes that HCA properly reported its income and paid its taxes
in accordance with applicable laws and agreements established with the IRS
during previous examinations, and that final resolution of these disputes will
not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
position of Columbia/HCA.
 
NOTE 12 -- PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY RISKS
 
  Columbia/HCA insures a substantial portion of its professional liability
risks through a wholly owned insurance subsidiary. Provisions for such risks
underwritten by the subsidiary, including expenses incident to claim
settlements, were $177 million for 1995, $134 million for 1994 and $132
million for 1993. Amounts funded to the insurance subsidiary were $270 million
for 1995 (including $83 million of previously unfunded risks related to prior
years), $253 million for 1994 (including $146 million related to prior years)
and $62 million for 1993.
 
  Allowances for professional liability risks, included principally in de-
ferred taxes and other liabilities, were $1.2 billion at both December 31,
1995 and 1994.
 
  Columbia/HCA adopted the provisions of SFAS 115 on December 31, 1993. Ac-
cordingly, stockholders' equity was increased by $27 million (net of deferred
income taxes) to reflect the net unrealized gain on investments (all held by
the wholly owned insurance subsidiary) classified as available for sale. The
adoption of SFAS 115 had no effect on earnings in 1993. During 1995 and 1994,
stockholders' equity was increased by $31 million and decreased by $30 mil-
lion, respectively, to reflect the change in net unrealized holding gains and
losses on securities classified as available for sale. Prior to 1995
Columbia/HCA classified certain debt securities as held to maturity (none of
which were sold or transferred before actual maturity). Columbia/HCA no longer
classifies debt securities as held to maturity.

Credit Facilities
 
  Subsequent to December 31, 1995, Columbia/HCA amended its revolving credit
agreements (the "Credit Facilities") from an aggregate amount of $3.75 billion
to $4.0 billion. The Credit Facilities comprise a $2.5 billion five-year re-
volving credit agreement and a $1.5 billion 364-day revolving credit agree-
ment. The Credit Facilities were established to support Columbia/HCA's commer-
cial paper programs and replace prior revolving credit agreements. Interest is
payable generally at either LIBOR plus .18% to .35% (depending on
Columbia/HCA's credit rating), the prime lending rate or a competitive bid
rate. The Credit Facilities contain customary covenants which include (i) lim-
itations on additional debt, (ii) limitations on sales of assets, mergers and
changes of ownership and (iii) maintenance of certain interest coverage ra-
tios.

General Information
 
  Borrowings under the commercial paper programs are classified as long-term
debt due to the credit available under the revolving credit agreements dis-
cussed above and management's intention to refinance these borrowings on a
long-term basis.
 
  Maturities of long-term debt in years 1997 through 2000 are $250 million,
$120 million, $218 million and $411 million, respectively. Such amounts re-
flect maturities of debt for certain short-term debt classified as long-term,
based upon maturities under the revolving credit agreements. Approximately 4%
of Columbia/HCA's property and equipment is pledged on senior collateralized
debt.
 
  During the past three years Columbia/HCA has reduced interest costs and
eliminated certain restrictive covenants by refinancing or prepaying high in-
terest rate debt, primarily through the use of existing cash and cash equiva-
lents and issuance of long-term debt, commercial paper and equity. Amounts re-
financed or prepaid totaled $1.8 billion in 1995, $2.2 billion in 1994 and
$1.4 billion in 1993. After-tax losses from refinancing activities aggregated
$103 million ($.23 per share) in 1995, $115 million ($.27 per share) in 1994
and $97 million ($.24 per share) in 1993.
 
  The estimated fair value of Columbia/HCA's long-term debt was $7.7 billion
and $5.7 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, compared to car-
rying amounts aggregating $7.4 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. The es-
timate of fair value is based upon the quoted market prices for the same or
similar issues of long-term debt with the same remaining maturities.

NOTE 14 -- CONTINGENCIES
 
  Management continually evaluates contingencies based upon the best available
evidence. In addition, allowances for loss are provided currently for disputed
items that have continuing significance, such as certain third-party reim-
bursements and deductions that continue to be claimed in current cost reports
and tax returns.
 
  Management believes that allowances for loss have been provided to the ex-
tent necessary and that its assessment of contingencies is reasonable. Manage-
ment believes that resolution of contingencies will not materially affect
Columbia/HCA's financial position or results of operations.
 
  Principal contingencies are described below:
 
    Revenues -- Certain third-party payments are subject to examination by
  agencies administering the programs. Columbia/HCA is contesting certain is-
  sues raised in audits of prior year cost reports.
 
    Professional liability risks -- Columbia/HCA has provided for loss for
  professional liability risks based upon actuarially determined estimates.
  Actual settlements and expenses incident thereto may differ from the provi-
  sions for loss.
 
    Income taxes -- Columbia/HCA is contesting adjustments proposed by the
  IRS.
 
    Spinoff -- Certain subsidiaries of Columbia/HCA are parties to risk-shar-
  ing arrangements with Humana.
 
    Regulatory review -- Federal regulators are investigating certain finan-
  cial arrangements with physicians at two psychiatric hospitals.
 
    Litigation -- Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of
  business are pending against Columbia/HCA.

                             REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
 
To our Stockholders
 
Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of
the consolidated financial statements and related notes. To meet these respon-
sibilities, management maintains a system of internal control intended to in-
sure that key employees adhere to the highest standards of personal and pro-
fessional integrity. Although no cost effective internal control system will
preclude all errors and irregularities, we believe the established system of
internal control provides reasonable assurance that the assets are safeguard-
ed, transactions are recorded in accordance with management's policies and the
financial information is reliable.
 
The consolidated financial statements of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
and include amounts based upon our best estimates and judgments. These finan-
cial statements have been audited and reported on by our independent auditors,
Ernst & Young LLP, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
 
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting entirely of outside
directors, meets regularly with management, internal auditors and Ernst &
Young LLP and reviews audit plans and results as well as management's actions
taken in discharging responsibilities for accounting, financial reporting and
internal control. Ernst & Young LLP and the internal auditors have direct and
confidential access to the Audit Committee at all times to discuss the results
of their examinations.
 
 
Kenneth C. Donahey
Senior Vice President and Controller
 
                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Columbia/HCA
Healthcare Corporation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related con-
solidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsi-
bility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our au-
dits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of mate-
rial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence sup-
porting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement pre-
sentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opin-
ion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Columbia/HCA
Healthcare Corporation at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated re-
sults of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted ac-
counting principles.
