OP, Florida SHINE (Google it) Florida Senior Health Information Network, will provide a lot of unbiased information. The villages health system can be very confusing, IF you want a primary care doctor in the villages health system you MUST have one of 3 or 4 ADVANTAGE plans as they do not accept medicare and supplemental plans. If you do not mind having a primary care doctor outside the VHCS, then you can use medicare and supplemental, IMHO this is what I suggest. You can still use specialist in VHCS with medicare. I believe there is a way to search the medicare system to find who handles the care you need and the specific drugs. Hope this helps.
