I suspect the issue is not enough PCPs. When we moved to The Villages in 2014, they had just opened up the facility at Pinellas and there was no issue with getting a PCP.

It took one year for me to clear that waiting list (I was with Orlando Health during that first year, and drove to the facility off the Turnpike and the intersection with Hwy 27). I’m still a few years away from 65, but will need to leave Villages Health at 65, since I won’t be going the Medicare Advantage route.
