That did not happen so the anticipated payer mix did not generate the projected capitated payment revenues. This move positions the system for a stock buyout. Stock is held by management and physicians. The most likely buyer is United Health Care. Meanwhile, where will the original Medicare patients go? A smart move for a quality primary care group would to set up shop adjacent to the villages.

Not disputing this post, but what is the source of this info?
