If you had it to do all over again, would you still buy in TV?
We would like to hear both the positives and negatives of living in TV.
We have visited TV several times and walked around the squares but have never stayed there. We have heard nothing but good comments but wonder if it as good as everyone says it is.
Thanks for your comments!

We have been here six years and although it's a beautiful place we don't golf or do many things. I thought I was ready to live in a very confining area however if it wasn't for the wife having nice friends I would move away yesterday.[/QUOTE]
We have lived here for 12 years. Were in Village Health Care with Medicare and Supplement. VHC dropped us effective 12/31/16 unless we signed up for Villages Medicare Advantage. This plan is good if you are healthy and have no health issues. Now I need to thank the Villages for dropping us. Rather than waiting until the end of the year, we found a new primary care doctor outside of the villages right away, so we were and will be able to keep our medicare and supplement. Thank God we did. I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in mid-October and needed a mastectomy. I went to a general surgeon here in the Villages who I was not at all impressed with but who was recommended by my Villages Specialty Care gynecologist (who I can still see and be covered with my insurance). My mastectomy was performed in early November at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. The staff at Moffitt is unbelievably compassionate, as well as their surgeons being the tops in the US. Now, if I was a Villages Health Medicare Advantage patient, since Moffitt is NOT in their network of hospitals nor is the surgeon also operated on me, I would be in really big trouble, because Moffitt and the doctors there would be considered "out of network" and not covered. So in choosing your health care insurance for 2017 and beyond, be very very careful. I had no serious health issues whatsoever. When I see all the expensive advertising flyers we receive almost daily, I want to scream and warn everyone that the Medicare Advantage plans do not work for anyone who has any kind of serious health issues. I hope this helps others make the right decision.
