We rec'd notice last month that United Healthcare of Florida would no longer be offering individual plans for 2017. From the letter:

"Thank you for being a United Healthcare member. Each year insurance companies can make changes to the plans and coverage options they offer. Unfortunately, United Healthcare of Florida Inc will no longer be offering individual plans in 2017. The last day of your coverage is December 31, 2016"

Since we are not eligible for Medicare, yet, and use the Villages Heath System, our options are limited to a small list of carriers that they will accept. A comparable policy to our current UHC coverage will increase our premiums by about $250/month for the same coverage and deductible as our current policy.. I was under the impression that United Health Care was the preferred insurance in the Villages, but apparently not, in my case anyways. If you are covered under a former employer or group plan, I think you're OK, but individuals, under 65, need to start shopping for new insurance.
