Who are the uninsured in North Dakota??? They make up 8% of our population or about the size of Bismarck... (Carmen) "I always thought I'd have a job where I could afford insurance." Meet Carmen... she's one of the 52,000 people in the state who does not have health insurance... She's a single woman... going back to school... and no extra time for a job... (Carmen) "I'm working 40 hours a week doing my practicum in addiction counseling. So trying to work on the weekends is almost impossible."

(Carmen) "I filed bankruptcy in the past year. So going into the hospital would set me back before I can even get started." She takes seven different prescriptions... Luckily she gets the drugs she needs to stay healthy through a Prescription Assistance program... (Carmen) "My medications alone would run me $300-$400 a month."
