Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Dispositions	NOTE 2 — ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we paid $346 million to acquire a hospital in New Hampshire and other nonhospital health care entities. Purchase price amounts have been allocated to the related assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets of these acquired entities aggregated $306 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid $1.397 billion to acquire a seven-hospital health system in North Carolina and $107 million to acquire other nonhospital health care entities. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the acquired entities subsequent to the respective acquisition dates. The pro forma effects of these acquired entities on our results of operations for periods prior to the respective acquisition dates were not significant. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received proceeds of $39 million and recognized a pretax gain of $3 million related to sales of real estate and other investments, and we also recognized a pretax loss of $23 million related to a hospital facility in Mississippi that we have executed a definitive agreement to sell in 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we received proceeds of $25 million and recognized a pretax loss of $1 million related to a sale of a hospital facility in one of our Louisiana markets, and we also received proceeds of $16 million and recognized a pretax gain of $18 million related to sales of real estate and other investments.
