It boils down to CHOICE. And what any of us choose today may be different next year. That's the way the world works.

I read it.

Nothing new in the article for those who want to debate this issue. There are people who feel a limited choice of providers. They also feel they have been lied to. Don't understand this is a choice made by TVH to model health care, the way they think the new wave of medical care should be.

I realize that it's about the money and TVH wanting to stay in business as they need to be making a profit. I also wish they could have found a way to include original Medicare with a supplement, as it so convenient for villagers, not having to change doctors.

"It is, what it is"!
