Where Alaska sits among the states
3.0% of everyone with Medicare in Alaska is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. No state has a smaller share: Alaska is where Original Medicare has held on hardest, with Wyoming the next closest. Across the country the same figure runs from 62.8% in Michigan down to 3.0% in Alaska, so what counts as the ordinary choice depends on where a person lives, and this is what it is where they do.
