Where North Dakota sits among the states
35.6% of everyone with Medicare in North Dakota is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. That puts North Dakota 41th of 51, between Massachusetts above it and New Hampshire 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.
