Where West Virginia sits among the states
55.3% of everyone with Medicare in West Virginia is in a Medicare Advantage or other health plan rather than Original Medicare. That puts West Virginia 13th of 51, between Georgia above it and Kentucky 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.
