The 45-year-old Vista divorcee, who has a debilitating genetic disorder, says she'll marry for health care coverage, as long as your co-pays aren't too heavy, the North County Times reported.
"There is no other health care option for me," Carlson, an Orange Glenn High School graduate, told the paper by phone Friday evening. "I can never ever get health care insurance unless I marry. I am stuck in the middle. I can't get Social Security."
Carlson said her very public campaign (she created a Web site and YouTube videos about it this week) is driven by desperation and not a desire for personal attention.
