This is how they achieve cost savings.

The government just wants control, at any cost. Just look at the current skyrocketing costs under Obamacare. If your desire is to achieve a totalitarian socialist country, you need to control the media, the jobs, the healthcare, and the "freebies" It doesn't hurt to have a national "enemy" either. We have plenty of freebies, the media is in the tank, Obamacare tries to control healthcare, and there are already over 3 million federal employees, not counting the military. Currently, the "enemy" appears to be climate change deniers and those who oppose transgender rights, subject to change. OK, we're 33 years past 1984, but maybe Orwell had a point.

So, it's either The Villages' way or the highway. Medical care with their decision making. Right now I have a choice. In any case the similarities are alarming. Close enough for me.
