Don't think of assets or equity all the time. Also don't always look at the financial statements. Some other stuff are insightful. @ Alchemist & Jiggy lets see if you can find it.
The only insightful stuff as to why Pathirage would buy this is to use the Insurance float to invest/prop up his group companies and occasionaly invest in some debentures in his debt heavy hospitals.
Also he can cross sell using his group businesses. Buy a TV get insurance from AAIC, before going in for a surgery buy some Life insurance.
