About 53% of Rusk County's 11,433 Medicare beneficiaries are in Medicare Advantage — right around the national norm — so you'll find a genuine mix of competitive MA plans and Medigap options here rather than a one-sided market. UnitedHealthcare currently leads the county by enrollment, but the lowest total-cost plan for your specific drugs and doctors is often a smaller carrier — which is why we run all of them side by side instead of pushing the biggest name. Right now roughly 22 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Rusk County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).
What makes Rusk County different: Rusk County sits atop the East Texas Oil Field; the October 1930 oil strike near Joinerville set off a boom that swelled the county from about 32,000 residents to roughly 65,000 by 1936. County seat Henderson is served by UT Health Henderson, a 42-bed hospital with a Level IV Trauma Center.
