I think they may be planning to rely heavily on results from the survey to make future decisions. Otherwise, why the survey?

These surveys cost thousands in administrative costs. Survey results are obviously very important to their decision-making process.

Oh, and there's nothing wrong with admitting mistakes.

Curious, what part did you find "vague"?

Maybe, maybe not

Not at all--I just don't see where they admitted making "mistakes"

Just a quick look at the bigger picture:


I have no idea what medical care in TV was like prior to TVRH and TVH. My guess would be that it needed improvement, especially with plans for massive growth in the wings. "The Developer" spent many millions to build a hospital and start outpatient medical centers, to recruit primary care physicians and now specialists. They are still building facilities. "THEY" are not the enemy. Are "they" perfect?---of course not. Do "they" have some kind of evil agenda or ill intent?---of course not. Do "they" have to do business in the real world of health care delivery?----Yes, and it isn't easy. Did "they" stir up a hornets nest with the insurance change?---Obviously. The whole concept from the beginning was to be a cutting edge model of a PCMH (Patient Centered Medical Home). This is a highly regulated concept that is difficult to attain. Part of the decision to go exclusively with UHC MA was probably that it dovetailed nicely with the PCMH model. Would everyone in TV want to be a part of it?---NO. Would some people be displaced by such a major insurance change?--YES. But this decision was not an attack on Villagers designed to p!$$ people off, so don't treat it as such.
