well, one of our all-platform journalists, chris welsh, took a look at this situation in st. paul. >> i don't know what else to do, i mean, there's nowhere you can go. i don't have any family or anything, so i don't know where else to go. >> reporter: that is peter, he lost a job and his home. he lives with diabetes, but on april 1st, he'll also be without health care. that's because minnesota governor tim pawlenty has cut the state's insurance program for the poorest individuals. i sat down with peter and a man named arnold here at this homeless resource center. both men used the state's general assistance medical care or gmac. arnold has trouble walking. it's the reason he's jobless. >> it's not important to the world, but they're important people. and they'll be disappearing fast if they don't have some kind of medical help. >> reporter: the folks on gmac are the folks living on the streets, they're the folks with severe mental illness, they cannot take care of themselves. they are caught in the middle of a political gridlock where
