According to The Villages Helath website:

"If you are eligible for Medicare, we want you to know that the only Medicare Advantage plans The Villages Health participates in are those offered by UnitedHealthcare®."

I interpret that to mean that if you choose to have a Medicare Advantage plan, it must be offered by UnitedHealthcare. If you do not have a Medicare Advantage plan, their new ploicy does not affect you. That would explain why some people (i.e., those with Medicare Advantage plans other than UnitedHealthcare) are getting letters, while others (i.e., those with no Medicare Advantage plan) are not.

One thing is clear - the information regarding their policy change is unclear.
