Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand that. I used the Villages Health Care (Primary Care Physician) until I reached age 65, at which time was I no longer eligible because I chose traditional Medicare and a Supplemental Plan. Before I reached age 65, I had health insurance through my employer and The Villages Health Care was more than happy to accommodate me with private insurance, which actually included an obamacare plan for about 24 months.

All our doctors are outside VH and we will probably never leave those doctors. I see this same situation all over (especially in the southern villages) and as Middleton builds out.
If Orlando Health or Advent Health built a primary care location in the southern area and used that as a feeder into their overall system the future demand for VH services might not be there. I know I'm not changing doctors and going on a Medicare advantage plan in the future just because of Villages Health restrictions.
