United Health is losing too much money so their new business plan is to have The Villages Health accept only United Health, which I think will fail. My health plan is far superior to theirs so now all my medical needs will be met by doctors, specialists and hospitals outside The Villages network. I will be driving to Ocala, Leesburg and Tavares or areas on Rt 441. It's a shame since a turn key health care concept that The Villages Health was espousing sounded intriguing and was a good selling point. If you are not with United Health then expect a call in the future as they transition their patients.
Begs one to think what will happen if this new business model fails. They sure will **** off a lot of so called grandfathered people and will forever loose them as customers. Burning old bridges is never a good idea.
