Thanks for your opinions.
I am upset because I would like to enroll in the new United Healthcare "The Villages Medicare Complete" plan. The Extend Health Benefites coordinator I talked to said they (Extend Health) don't support this plan. He was also rude. He said I can take the villages plan but then I can't then use the HRA funds from IBM that Extend health manages. In short... I have to use their plans.

Let me know if you hear anything different on this.
