Other Noncurrent liabilities and Redeemable/Noncontrolling Interests	(3) Other Noncurrent liabilities and Redeemable/Noncontrolling Interests Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of our professional and general liability, workers’ compensation reserves, pension liability, and interest rate swaps. Outside owners hold noncontrolling, minority ownership interests of: (i) approximately 28% in our five acute care facilities located in Las Vegas, Nevada; (ii) 20% in an acute care facility located in Washington, D.C.; (iii) approximately 11% in an acute care facility located in Laredo, Texas, and; (iv) 20% in a behavioral health care facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The redeemable noncontrolling interest balances of $218 million and $234 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and the noncontrolling interest balances of $52 million and $53 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, consist primarily of the third-party ownership interests in these hospitals. In connection with the five acute care facilities located in Las Vegas, Nevada, the minority ownership interests of which are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, the outside owners have certain “put rights”, that are currently exercisable, that if exercised, require us to purchase the minority member’s interests at fair market value. The put rights are exercisable upon the occurrence of: (i) certain specified financial conditions falling below established thresholds; (ii) breach of the management contract by the managing member (a subsidiary of ours), or; (iii) if the minority member’s ownership percentage is reduced to less than certain thresholds. In connection with the behavioral health care facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the minority ownership interest of which is also reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, the outside owner has a “put option” to put its entire ownership interest to us at any time. If exercised, the put option requires us to purchase the minority member’s interest at fair market value. As of September 30, 2013, we believe the fair market value of the minority ownership interests in these facilities approximates the book value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests.
