How could The Villages do this to us all? I was told as many as 10,000 will be dumped unless we cancel traditional Medicare and go with the United Advantage plan. We that were grandfathered in a while back will be out. You can say it is a rumor, but some are taking the initiative and seeking a new physician before so many are cut loose.
We were at that first meeting when the physical of bellview explained the program. We signed up immediately. We are disappointed.
