Building on the Department’s Success

I am committed to building on the success of the Insurance Department, particularly in the areas of assistance provided to North Dakotans with the State Health Insurance Counseling program and Prescription Connection for North Dakota.

These programs have been extremely important in helping seniors and the disabled with insurance issues and with helping connect qualified people with free or discounted prescription drugs directly from the manufacturer.

We need to build on these successful programs, including my goal of increasing the amount of open enrollment events for the yearly Medicare Part D sign-up period, and continuing to reach out to new demographic groups in need of these services such as Native Americans, schools, and daycare centers.
