Merger of N.Y. med schools unravels

Article Abstract:

New York University (NYU) and Mount Sinai Medical Center announced Feb 14, 1997, that they have cancelled plans to merge their medical schools and hospitals. The two medical colleges had also planned to unite affiliated institutions and regional health care systems. A recent report ranking the quality of the NYU medical school higher than the academic quality at Mount Sinai was one factor in the failure of the deal.

Columbia deal collapse hurts Ohio Blues' image, viability

The insurance department questioned the deal's $299.5 million price tag, considered low for Blue Cross' assets, and the $19 million that Blue Cross officials who approved the buyout would have received.
