You can always visit the lobster thread. All comers are welcome there. Well, not quite ALL.

The Village Health ( whatever it is ) has always operated under the presumption anyone who did not take advantage of their largess and promptly see things their way basically constituted " The Village idiots ". It seems obvious based on the one post discussing the nature of the questions being asked not much has changed in this regard. Why they are bothering with the survey remains a mystery to me, but I would not mind hearing what others might think in this regard.

Apparently local healthcare prior to TVRH and TVH was "questionable" at best. So, in a community of 120,000+ and an average age of 67, if the "developer" did not bring in a new hospital, 6 new primary care centers, 34 primary care doctors, a specialty care center and specialists, then one could argue that THEY were the "village idiots"

The history lesson was indeed necessary for I am indeed one of the " Idiots ".:bigbow: The question however was differently nuanced and the post did not really address it.

You hit the "nail on the head" once again! IF I'd have had "one" hesitation to moving to FL it would have been the health-care availablity due to what I'd read. Charlaton doctor's, doctor's who'd lost their licenses for many reasons, a friend in health-care ins. who told us FL and AZ were the worse to work with and many more reasons. I believe the developer truly was trying to help us and not hurt us! If you disagree then we have to agree to disagree on that one!

Question, was the survey ONLY for current members of VHS? The reason I ask was we both got letters (former members of VHS), but neither of us got the e-mailed link for the survey. Further, I called about this, and followed up with an email, with no results. So I am wondering if this was 'members only' survey, if anyone knows??

For what it's worth, we never got the letters, but I got the survey link. My husband didn't. Doesn't sound like they really have their act together. The survey was a joke (IMO). I went through it, but didn't bother to send it. Unless and until they invite me back with the insurance coverage I have chosen, then why bother responding to a self-serving survey.

From what I read above, there is no definitive pattern. In our case, we both are FORMER members of TVH and both got a letter. Only I received an email with a link to the survey.

We are members of Villages Health and did *not* get the letter or the link.

I'm sure you already did this but did you check the spam folder in your email client? Legitimate surveys sometimes end up marked as spam...

I got the original letter that said they would be sending a survey, but I never got it. I belong to TVH.

I got the letter and and the email survey link, to which I responded. My impression of the survey was that they were only trying (1) to figure out WHY they hadn't convinced those who left that UHC Advantage was superior to Original Medicare +, and (2) how to better market the Advantage plan. Nothing at all to do with reinstating Original Medicare.
