I am a nanny, so basically I am self employed in Denver. My COBRA has run out. I would like to get health?

insurance -I could probably only afford to get major catastrophe with a high deductable. I have diabetes and fibromyalgia syndrom but am in otherwise good help. Anyone with any luck in this area? I have a friend who gets her health care through Denver General, but though I am low wage earner I own my house. Would this disqualify me? And, just to throw in three questions for the price of one, I have another friend who takes a couple of cles a semester in order to get insurance through Metro. Know anything about this? Thanks a bunch!
