National Medical Offers to Buy Back AMI Bonds: National Medical Enterprises Inc. offered to buy back $548 million in American Medical Holdings Inc. debt as part of its planned $2-billion acquisition of the hospital chain. Santa Monica-based National Medical, the nation’s third-largest hospital operator, said it would pay a premium for the bonds. It also plans to offer holders an additional $20 per $1,000 bond if they sell the bonds before the company buys two-thirds of the issue.
