Will Marry for Health Insurance

Terri Carlson of San Diego has launched a website, willmarryforhealthinsurance.com. She explains her plight:

I am 45 and was born with a genetic immune disorder. I am on cobra from my divorce 2 years ago but it runs out in a year. I can’t buy health insurance because of my pre-existing condition. The Government doesn’t look like it will pass health care reform now. My job doesn’t offer benefits either. I am stuck in the middle.

Ms. Carlson seems a sweet gal and is getting her 15 minutes of Internet fame. Her effort is an innovative approach to getting health insurance but, at its heart, a very sad comment on the state of American health care.
