So then, Lowenkron sued USF for his salary. Doubt he took a pay cut to come to The Villages. Classy guy!

I think what you're seeing at Villages Health is a continuation of what transpired with Moffitt and USF. Both had a plan that anticipated a certain percentage of their patients being enrolled in a MA plan. When they realized that was not obtainable, they pulled the plug. VHS has the same problem. With the limits on panel size, there is insufficient income to sustain the plan without the annual allowance paid per member. Therefore, the decision was made to make the UHC plan a requirement. Apparently, the whole system was in jeopardy if they didn't.
