The medical situation is the one thing that would have kept us from moving here. After living with it for 11 years, if we had known, we wouldn't have come here. I have had 4 internists since we moved here. I am not a doctor shopper but I won't tolerate mistakes by the staff or doctor nor will I tolerate being scolded like a child.
I don't think you "got the letter" because "you weren't healthy enough". The Villages Health Care is available to people who have Blue Cross or United Health Care insurance only.

Our company insurance switched from Aetna to United Health Care about a year ago and we were able to use The Villages Health care system. I would be extremely sad if our insurance changed away from it. It is a wonderful thing, The Villages Health Care. The staff from receptionists to doctors are warm and smart and well trained.
