The Villages Health care doctors sign 2-year non-competes. So, even if you have the correct insurance, if your dr. quits or is terminated by The Villages Health Care, you are out of luck if you want to continue seeing that physician because they are no longer permitted to practice medicine in the area.
If you are thinking of living at the villages make sure that you can get good healthcare before you leave you home city"

I think we have a non-sequitur here.
You are responding to the OP
I was responding to the misinformation in the 3 sequential posts I quoted
SHINE will give the proper advice and information---of course they can't solve the problem.
