A critical element of health care is confidence. If you have lost confidence in the system (as we have because of the way this recent decision was made and communicated), it's time to go. Who's to say The Villages won't close the entire system three or four years from now because it's not making enough money for them then (and with the number of people walking because of this recent decision, that's not such a far-fetched scenario). Where will be people who stick with the system now be then?
Sadly, you might find the same situation when you change to another individual doctor or another group. You never know ... it's a jungle out there.
