And the hits just keep on comin'.

Every time I decide we just can't possibly hear anything sillier or more incompetent about the Obamacare scheme and the people running it.... they prove me wrong again.

Colo. man signs up for his insurance, his dog gets covered instead

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — 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.

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.

“There was some kind of code or something, so I gave them my dog’s name,” Smith said. “They must have just put it in the wrong slot or something.”

LOL. thats hilarious. I can imagine him standing there reading the letter........

Stuff like this happens everywhere. Especially when you are trying to do this stuff over the phone.

Would if they added up the dogs life in people years and put the dog on Medicare and did a triple-bypass at the age of 85 and billed the government $80,000...Only a Tea Partier could relate to that and love it at the same time.
