Default Medicare Advantage vs Medicare plus supplement

Since this is open enrollment and since it seems we are being pressured to obtain UHC Medicare Advantage, I'd like to hear personal experiences with the UHC Medicare Advantage Plan in the Villages. We have had Medicare plus a UHC supplement for 6 years and have been very pleased. When we looked into changing to a UHC Advantage Plan a couple of years ago I was disappointed to find that my cardiologist had just been dropped from participating in the plan and that doctors could be dropped or withdraw at any time. I also thought it strange that none of the UHC agents I talked to could tell me if I might be able to switch back to regular Medicare (without penalty for pre-existing conditions) should I not be pleased with the Advantage plan. Thanks for sharing!
