Where Minnesota sits among the states
60.1% of everyone with Medicare in Minnesota is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. That puts Minnesota 3th of 51, between Alabama above it and Rhode Island 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.
