If someone can actually come up with the letter which states our insurance was " grandfathered " I think we have the beginnings of a discussion with a good trial attorney. When the decision was first announced there were several threads on this forum and no one could produce a copy of a letter to that effect. I think the other poster who referenced the letter and said it stated we would be allowed to remain patients is correct, but with the proviso we switch to their Advantage Plan. Look, I am absolutely furious about what the Villages Health did and consider their action ill advised and quite amoral. I think they thought the bulk of their patient population would just roll over and switch to their Advantage Plan. Based on the responses on this thread and the actual apology asking we respond to the survey, it seemingly has dawned on them the rancor they invoked might not settling down as hoped. This thread has had thousands of views presumably including people just new to The Villages who now might be questioning whether they want anything to do with the Villages Health. I do not know what the survey will ask. I do know if the survey format allows, they will be told I still consider their actions reprehensible. I will also tell them as I meet new people in social situations who ask about medical service availability in The Villages, that I in good conscience would not recommend the Villages Health and why. Not the primary care side , nor the new specialty side. If they receive thousands of similar responses to their survey we might see some action beyond their worthless apology which was only designed to encourage the survey population to respond.
