USF has pulled out of its four million specialty-care-clinic at The Villages, according to today's Tampa Bay Times. The clinics will continue to operate as the for-profit Villages Healthcare.

USF blames the lack of membership in United Healthcare Medicare managed care plan for the reason for leaving. Only 6000 residents have signed up, when they needed 20,000 to make the numbers work.
What effect will that have on The Villages Clinics? The clinics were expected to work efficiently together with the specialty-care-clinic. That's where a lot of future savings were supposed to come from. If costs go up, who pays? That's what people should be asking.
