Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by Glenview Capital Management, LLC on May 6, 2013 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”), and Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 1") filed on May 28, 2013, with respect to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Health Management Associates, Inc. (the “Issuer” or the "Company"), whose principal executive offices are located at 5811 Pelican Bay Boulevard, Suite 500, Naples, Florida 34108-2710.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

As previously disclosed by the Issuer, the Issuer adopted a “poison pill” rights plan that limits any shareholder and its affiliates and associates from acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 15% of the Shares of the Issuer.  The Reporting Persons urge the Issuer to redeem the poison pill, or at a minimum, amend the poison pill to increase the percentage of stock a person would be permitted to own without triggering the poison pill to a 25% threshold.

Furthermore, the Reporting Persons are evaluating whether to formulate, and ultimately may formulate, plans or proposals that would result in some of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, in particular, changes to all or a portion of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.  The Reporting Persons intend to engage in communications with potential nominees and may engage in communications with, among others, the Issuer’s management or directors, shareholders and other potential investors, potential strategic partners, financial advisors and other industry participants, regarding such matters.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 2 is incorporated by reference herein.  Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Company.
