SAN DIEGO -- A Vista, Calif., woman is using the Internet -- and a unique proposal -- in an effort to get health insurance, San Diego TV station KGTV reported.

Terri Carlson, 45, has posted several videos on YouTube saying she will marry someone in exchange for health insurance.

The divorcee has a genetic disorder called C4 Complement Deficiency, and there are no known cures.

"It makes me unable to process bacteria and viruses efficiently, and my body attacks itself. It's very similar to Lupus," Carlson said.

Carlson is seeking someone's hand in marriage because she's not eligible for health insurance on her own. She has one year left under COBRA health coverage, but she was issued a lifetime denial from every other health insurance carrier.

Her two hopes are health care reform or coverage through a spouse. Carlson said she's not waiting for Congress.

"I'm the person that's stuck in the middle in this health care reform debate," she said.

She's created her own Web site promoting her story, and in just a few days she said she's received at least 100 marriage proposals. She's not soliciting photos. Instead, she wants health insurance information.

"Ooh! The lower the co-pay, the sexier you are to me!" Carlson said in one of her YouTube videos.
