Where Nebraska sits among the states
34.0% of everyone with Medicare in Nebraska is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. That puts Nebraska 44th of 51, between District of Columbia above it and Kansas 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.
