Right, AND it's also a matter of "
you get what you pay for".
People have warned on here many times that the AARP -UHC Plan, and now The Villages UHC plan like it, are HMOs that do not include the outside specialists they needed at other teaching-research hospitals in a major health crisis with aggressive cancer or other rare/complex diagnosis.
Many comments are on this board saying the AARP- and TV-UHC plan was fine UNTIL they got into a crisis that they needed Drs for in Tampa or elsewhere, but the plan didn't include that, and some were lucky to be in the enrollment window to change to regular Medicare with supplement when they needed to. There was a thread just a couple of weeks ago with a person saying this happened to him, and he was thinking of changing back and people said "don't do it" because that lesson should already have been learned--the hard way.
