I am not saying you can't cherry pick an example of someone having to change doctors, but I personally haven't seen it. I have had the same PCP for the last five years (two different insurance plans) in The Villages and had the same PCP for 10 years (3 different insurance plans) prior to moving to The Villages. Regarding non-PCP doctors, I haven't seen an issue there either. I doubt that I am unique in this regard.
