The term "lacking" is a poor choice of words. No parts of FL are "lacking" excellent medical facilities - you simply may have to travel a bit further depending on where you live, and this is true for the rest of the country. This may be problematic under certain circumstances (although at least Moffitt and Mayo have extended stay facilities) as it can be regardless of what state you live in but trying to label FL as being lacking in this department is disingenuous. In fact, I would suggest that we have excellent choices. What parts of FL have you lived in, besides The Villages, that would lead you to your conclusion?

But it is my personal opinion that many parts of Florida still lack excellent medical facilities, but that too is changing. A rising tide (and savvy population) lifts all ships.
