Why do you think they all advertise financial incentives to sign onto their plans?
Advantage plans are for folks who can't afford real insurance and are willing to sacrifice their health to save a few bucks.

My point was that The Villages has constructed 7 health care centers in The Villages that are located to be convenient for Villages residents to use. By limiting the primary care insurance acceptance to a few select advantage plans, they will not be overloaded with patients from outside of The Villages. If that were to occur, it would defeat the purpose of providing convenient facilities for Villagers to use. It doesn't sound ridiculous to me.
