UnitedHealthcare further contends that the $118.8 million purportedly spent paying down the line of credit was actually “disguised equity distributions” paid to the Morse family. During those years, The Villages Health also was paying roughly $10 million in annual rent to The Villages Operating Co. for the use of the clinics.
So, without the $90 million dollars per year of excess payments from Medicare, would the developers have been able to make these distributions and pay down their line of credit? Or, would they have had to declare bankruptcy years ago?
