California Women Soliciting Husband With Excellent Health Insurance
According to the article “Married, with Benefits: California Mom Terri Carlson Starts Will Marry For Health Insurance Web Site” by Rosemary Black on nydailynews.com, a woman desperate for good health insurance because of a chronic condition has started a campaign online to get a husband with excellent health insurance.
Finding health insurance has not been easy for Terri Carlson because she hasn’t been in the work force long enough to qualify for social security, but her COBRA is about to expire in May. She has an autoimmune disease which prevents her body from fighting infections so she needs to take 10-20 different prescriptions everyday. She knows that finding individual health insurance for herself will not be easy.
The 45 year old divorced mom did realize though, that if she married a man with excellent health benefits she could automatically be placed on their health insurance policy and her problems are solved. Well, her old problems are solved. It seems like she may have a new list of problems if she marries a stranger just for health insurance coverage. This just goes to show how important health care reform really is.
