These facilities were constructed within The Villages to be convenient to Villagers, not non-Villagers. Otherwise, what is the point of using Villages property to operate health care facilities within The Villages? My opinion.
Your response seems to assume that Medicare Advantage is only for Villagers. Hate to break it to you, but Medicare Advantage is all over and everyone can choose it.
