So you may have UHC AARP, but it's probably a Medicare part B Supplemental plan and not the favored advantage. Here's some info on how this evolved and who one of the architects of the plan is.

It's also interesting that if you belong to UHC Medicare Advantage, you don't have the option of being treated by the Moffitt Cancer center, since they were dropped as a provider by UHC advantage. So now Morse wants everybody to enroll in an advantage plan that won't allow you to treat at the highly touted, and partially paid for by Villages residents, Moffitt facility in the Villages that he pushed
