The biggest burden of this system is that we have to pay $1650 a year Per Person. That would be $3300 for a couple a year. We found out that this practice which is headquartered in Florida has been purchased by P&G so is a profit center operation. We are seriously considering leaving our doctor as good as he is. It is unfortunate. I believe he has now about 400 patient vs about 4000 he had before.

FYI - The Villages Health System is not concierge medicine but a colaboration between the University of South Florida, The Villages, and United Health Care. People receive invites to specific locations that are close to their homes as they are opened.
