For those that have gone with the villages health care system, how soon were you able to get in to meet your new primary care physician?

Is anyone concerned that when season is in full swing and all of the folks are needing to get in to meet their new dr's...that there may be a long wait to get an appointment? How about during season and you become ill, but the villages clinic is booked solid for appointments? Is there an urgent care affiliated with the villages plan where one can go if their PCP is booked? Will the result be to sit for hours in the hospital emergency room? Is this new "Marcus Welby" plan capable of handling the amount of folks that will be signed up?

I wish there was more time to make a decision on my health plan. I'd like to see how this plan is gonna work during a busy season.....and the dr's who are signing up here...are they all new dr's that are just looking for experience under their belt, and will move on soon? Are the dr's that are signed up, good dr's? I guess we won't know that for quite a while.....time will tell.
