Plus, I'm not sure what you mean by "no premiums" and "free health care"?

It was all very simple to do. When I turned 65 four years ago, at the Medicare Store I signed up for a plan that was accepted by TV Health Care System. It was United Health Medicare Advantage for 65+. There is no premiums and I get health care from Dr. Raquet at the Brownwood Villages Office behind Traverse Shopping Center. I pay no premiums except for $40 copay for specialist.
In December 2017 United Health had a table set up at the entrance to MVP at Brownwood. They said if you have United Health you can get our membership for free. They said go the the Optum Group website, enter your info, and get a number. On January 2nd 2018 I gave the number to the front desk at MVP and filled out some paperwork. My monthly dues were returned at the end of the month and I've never been charged since.
I believe the Optum Group is now Renew, in fact every month I get a magazine called Renew. I would talk to a United rep and find out, if your a Villages Patient and 65+, why are you paying premiums and why is your MVP membership not free. In the beginning of this plan startup, MVP was signing up 200 new members a day. It really got out of hand, but since most of these new members were not motivated enough to pay to join, they drop out almost as quick as they sign up. MVP is a little more crowded, but it's manageable.
