Where Maryland sits among the states
25.3% of everyone with Medicare in Maryland is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. That puts Maryland 49th of 51, between Montana above it and Wyoming below. 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.
