How do you define "failed"? They have apparently decided that an MA plan for those on Medicare will be better than the status quo but I hardly call that failing. Failing is when they close up shop because they don't have enough patients. That may happen but I wouldn't bet on it. Individuals must personally decide whether they are getting quality care.
I am not on Medicare and they take our insurance so nothing has changed for us. I am satisfied with my PCP although I have gone "off the reservation" when I lost faith in the specialists at The Villages Health. Having a plan that would not allow me to go "off the reservation" would probably decrease my satisfaction and I understand why many people are troubled by the move to MA. For the time being, we are fine with The Villages Health for the routine stuff.
