ObamaCARE has literally gone to the dogs in Colorado. A man named Shane Smith of Fort Collins, says his dog Baxter received a letter informing him that a health insurance account had been opened. Problem for Shane is that his 14 year old Yorkie named Baxter received the letter of confirmation, not Shane Smith. Got to keep those dogs healthy, Obama may need a snack one day.
The Colorado healthcare exchange has processed applications for thousands of people … and one dog.
Shane Smith, of Fort Collins, says his dog Baxter received a letter informing him that a health insurance account had been opened in his name through Connect for Health Colorado.
“I thought, ‘Wow, this is so awesome,’” Smith said with a laugh. “They have gone out of their way to insure my 14-year-old Yorkie.”
Smith had called Connect for Health Colorado to sign himself up for insurance because his old plan was cancelled due to Obamacare.
He’s not sure exactly how the confirmation letter went to his dog, but he says he thinks it’s because of a series of security questions a representative asked him over the phone.
