The medical is pretty scary from what I see. Currently live near Charlotte and have access to Duke, Wake Forrest, etc. Real quality health care near TV is pretty weak from what I see. Please give me your thoughts and experiences. As with everything else, if nothing is wrong it doesn't matter but have a problem, oh boy!

Best decision I ever made as you feel younger with so many things to do!

Health care isn't as bad as some people make it sound. My brother goes to Duke University for a heart problem so unless you have serious medical issues, I would move down.

The big brouhaha is over TVH system will no longer accept Medicare with supplement type patients starting in 2017. A lot of people are upset because they need to find doctors outside of TVH and some feel they were thrown out of TVH system.

TVH is concierge type medical system that allows a lot of time for their patients that accepts UHC MA plans and Tricare for Life. Call 352.674.1740 for an exact answer on whether they will accept you.

I personally don't find the the health care down in Florida that bad and I came from the tri-sate area of the northeast. I understand the reluctance of moving from an area that has the best doctors to doctors in Florida but everything in life has an element of risk.

My personal complaint is with dentists as they seem to want to overcharge you for a simple cleaning. Still having a problem finding a honest dentist that accepts UHC MA plan.
