As a piece of the eligible Medicare population, that means that that figure has jumped up by 19% in 2007 to 51% in 2023. Since 2022, the population enrolled in Medicare Advantage has increased by 8%. In the next decade, the percentage is expected to rise to over 62% enrolled in Medicare Advantage.

One in five beneficiaries of MAPD are enrolled in a plan offered by a union or an employer. That is about 5.4 million people, or about 20% of the population. In the following five states, the group enrollees counted for a third or more of all enrollments: Alaska, Michigan, New Jersey, Maryland, and West Virginia.

In the past five years, enrollment in Special Needs Plans (SNPs) has doubled. This means than 5.7 million Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in special needs plans.
