I hope you were not trying to paint a picture that there are very limited Advantage Plan choices Vs Medicare at least on The Villages Health accepted plans.

Another point - Approx 48% of all Medicare seniors have enrolled in Advantage Plans.

Not looking forward to losing my current doctor but do not want to be limited as to who I can see.

Ref my post above re my PPO plan. The out of state in network coverage is now vast. I looked up PCPs in 5 areas all within a 20 mile radius. Again these are all within network on that plan:

Sumter Landing - 305 PCPs
Albany NY - 865
Cleveland OH - 1871
Denver CO - 1891
Madison WI - 510
