About one in five Nevada workers have no health insurance.
A new study shows 19.8 percent of Nevada workers ages 19 to 64 had no health insurance in 2006 and 2007. That's slightly higher than the national average of 18.4 percent.
It's also a slight increase from 1994-95 when 17.7 percent of Nevada's adult workforce had no health insurance.
The study by the State Health Access Data Center at the University of Minnesota shows the worst states on the list are Texas and New Mexico, each with about 28 percent of their workers uninsured. The best states are Hawaii at nine percent and Massachusetts at 9.4 percent.
