Default Hospitals and Medical Care in The Villages: Present and Future

We are faced with an immediate Corona-virus crisis, but we also should think about the future of medical care in The Villages.

Right now, The Villages has a one-star ranked hospital, which seems strained to capacity, and a shortage of highly qualified doctors. How will we cope with the immediate crisis and, when it finally passes, what about our future?

As our Sumter County Commissioners have given the Developer every approval necessary for him to double the size of The Villages (and had the current residents pay for his infrastructure via the 25% tax hike), what have the Commissioners done to try to ensure that hospital and medical services will keep pace?

It certainly appears that houses are selling faster than the number of hospital beds and medical personnel are increasing.
