If you a leaning this way, then shop around. Everyone's Plan F is the same, for example. Why pay a higher premium for the same coverage?

I don't think this is exactly true. Here's my take:
1. Village Healthcare (The Villages Health) accepts specific advantage plans (not all advantages plans), but not Original Medicare with a supplement.
2. The Villages Regional Hospital accepts most all insurances.
