Also, I was shocked that The Villages Health Centers only accept Medicare Advantage and not traditional Medicare. Is that because the reimbursement for physician services is that much different between the two options?

There is a lot of advertising for advantage plans. Rarely if ever for traditional plans. I read an article that this is a big influencer on the large number of people choosing the advantage plans.
I know too many people who have not been able to get the care they need approved by their advantage plan. One I know even died because of this.
It surprises me that so many are okay with leaving their health in the hands of the insurance companies. Not me! Freedom to choose who and where I want to go is priceless imho.
