[Aloha1]

When we moved to the Villages a year ago, one big reason was the proximity of good health care. Coming from Maui where health care is closer to a 3rd world country, we were hoping to find a good PCP. Then we learned that in order to use TVHC, we would need to buy a UHC supplemental. We are both covered by Medicare AND State of Michigan retiree BCBS supplemental. That insurance is a retirement benefit, covers medical expenses world wide, and costs us nothing. It is a superior plan to UHC, IMO, and we have never had a practitioner or facility not accept it. My hope is that the "powers that be" are potentially rethinking the UHC only decision. What intrigues me is the sentence in the letter that states " improving health care and outcomes for ALL Villages residents". Time will tell.
