Where Tennessee sits among the states
53.0% of everyone with Medicare in Tennessee is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. That puts Tennessee 21th of 51, between Hawaii above it and New York 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.
