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.

Yes, the article is simply a rehash of what we've seen before, right down to people quoted.
To me, it's not so much the decision that was made but the poor way it was handled. Things are achangin. True. When Gary Morse was in charge, I think perhaps the same decision would have been made (they need to stay afloat financially) but I think it would have been handled with some sensitivity and honesty. For example, I still haven't received "the letter" since they were sent third class and not forwarded. This is a mistake that could have and should have been rectified. No doubt there are many people still not aware of this decision who are in for a big surprise when they return. Inexcusable.
Furthermore, to think that there are folks who made their home buying decisions, at least in part, based on access to TVH, is unconscionable and sad. No wonder they're upset! Not blaming sales agents. I have no doubt they didn't know the plan. Perhaps they should have. Or at least been directed not to pitch TVH since some changes were in the works.
So the result is a PR nightmare which could have been mitigated to some degree.
Just MHO.
