No one will want to move here if this is allowed to be implemented. I am shocked that The Villages developers have allowed this to happen. I am very worried. I am from Alaska and may return there when I deem it is necessary so I want to keep my original medicare. How sad. Our wonderful Villages has just turned into a bad deal for seniors.

You would be surprised how many people buy after a 3 day lifestyle visit. Few do the appropriate research. They find out later about the health care. They see all these beautiful heathcare facilities for "villagers". They assume that they will take medicare. I mean, come on. It's a retirement community. Most villagers are on medicare. And they DO take medicare,...just not part b. But that doesn't seem to come up in discussions during their 3 day visit. Off to the town centers in our golf cart; "now isn't that fun?"
