Therefore,for many of us, we will have to change to UHC Medicare Advantage which is an HMO and will decide the rationed type of treatment you will receive or find providers outside The Villages. The TVH powers to be have decided that money is more important the health and welfare of its residents.
This is really an outrage and a slap in the face to all of us who trusted them to insure our healthcare

You may want to check with Shine. It is my understanding that once you switch to a Medicare advantage product you can only get back to original Medicare during an initial 6-month period. Otherwise you will never be able to have original Medicare again.
