The Morris County medicare supplement market
About 48% of Morris County's 3,865 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. The county skews older than the Texas average (23% are 65 or older), which means heavy carrier competition and meaningful plan turnover each Annual Enrollment Period — a yearly review almost always pays off. Humana 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 12 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Morris County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).

What makes Morris County different: Morris County has no hospital of its own; its lone Daingerfield hospital closed years ago, so its ~3,825 Medicare beneficiaries rely on the Mount Pleasant hospital (formerly Titus Regional Medical Center, now Christus Health – Mount Pleasant Hospital) about 18 miles away, while Medicare Advantage still reaches a relatively high 47.8% of beneficiaries for a rural East Texas county. The county's older-skewing population (22.6% are 65+) is a legacy of the Lone Star Steel mill, which once employed up to 6,000 workers and made Morris the 29th-highest per-capita-income county in Texas in 1981 before the plant suspended operations in August 1982; the collapse pushed county unemployment to 24.2% in 1983.
