Also, there can never be a monopoly in the health care system in TV. There are more drs outside of the TVH system so people have many choices on who to see. Also, no dr is dedicated to 1 company. There is so much turnover in drs around here, no company could state they will have this specialist tomorrow. My wife, before she was on Medicare, was going to drs in the TVH system that disappeared before her next 6 month visit so she was constantly having to re-establish with a new dr. Now being on a Medicare supplement plan g plan, she has seen the same dr at other facilities.

I think you would find the high turnover rate is due to the fact that there are just as many, if not more, physicians at TVH that are near the end of their career than those at the beginning of theirs. Young doctors tend to want to be near urban areas and suburbs with children for playmates for theirs. There is little attraction for a young family in a 55+ retirement community. Plus, the salaries are higher elsewhere.
