Medicare and senior insurance help in Austin
Austin's senior population has grown fast, and a lot of that growth sits north in Williamson County. Georgetown is home to Sun City Texas, one of the largest 55-and-over communities in the state, and Round Rock and Cedar Park keep adding retirees every year.
That spread matters for Medicare. Travis, Williamson and Hays counties each have their own plan lists, and the local hospital picture splits between Ascension Seton, St. David's and Baylor Scott & White. Retired teachers and state workers should also check TRS-Care or ERS coverage before buying a separate plan.
