Where Texas sits among the states
54.0% of everyone with Medicare in Texas is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. That puts Texas 17th of 51, between Pennsylvania above it and Missouri 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.
