Where New York sits among the states
52.9% of everyone with Medicare in New York is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. That puts New York 22th of 51, between Tennessee above it and Colorado 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.
