The Villages Health hasn't singled out veterans, they have decided that all new patients qualified for Medicare need to enroll in United Health Cares's Advantage program. UHC Advantage pays the Villages commissions on new enrollees so it's a money making proposition for the developer and that's the primary driver behind the decision to require use of that insurer.

It's a lot more than not accepting "some" insurance, they won't accept any other than UHC Advantage for new patients!

It's not that hard to comprehend unless you don't want to.


My reaction is that it isn't a RIGHT. It is a privilege. It isn't that I don't have other choices. We do. We can go to any other doctor here, but not The Villages Health Care. I don't care if they make money. People are in business to make money.
