I don't think it has to do with age discrimination; after all, physicians don't have to accept Medicare patients period.
I wonder if TVHS ever thought of turning their system into a concierge practice. It might be more palatable to the Original Medicare crowd or maybe even all patients to pay a yearly fee to join, with the provision of not being forced into an Advantage program.

I always thought the path was being laid for a concierge practice. Especially in the beginning.
