From the Paper:

"As early as 1989, the issue of hospital mergers was widely debated, and mergers were taking place at a rapid rate. The overall goal of these mergers was to lower costs while maintaining quality and accessible medical care, using health care cost controls such as voluntary rate setting, the use of professional standards review organizations and state run certificate of need legislation. At that time it was felt that the market approach was working because of the emergence of free standing urgent and ambulatory care centers as a direct response to the requests of consumers and insurers. As of 1986, 40 percent of hospitals in the United States were considering merges."
