I was referring to the purpose of the thread. The OP asked for pros and cons of The Villages health care system. That was her question, not mine. And, in that context, my advice is to be skeptical of a relatively small sampling of anecdotes.
If, for example, 10 or 12 patients out of 100 have a bad outcome that could be a bad sign. So 40, 50, or more people could show up on this thread giving a good review and it may not be the whole story. People of an advanced age with multiple health conditions can die from inappropriate care. And, if they do die, it's unlikely they will show up on this board to complain about it.
Also, we don't know if or how many of the responders to this thread work for The Villages Health Care System. We can only assume that all replies are above board. That alone eliminates any certainty.
