ObamaCare screw up sends callers to cupcake shop
New York Post ^ | October 30, 2013

Thanks to ObamaCare, New Yorkers can now get health insurance with rainbow sprinkles.

In yet another bungle for the botched government insurance rollout, the state Health Department has mistakenly listed numerous non-health-related business as enrollment sites — including a Brooklyn cupcake shop that has been besieged by callers.

“I have nothing to do with this,” said Carmen Rodriguez owner of Brooklyn Cupcake in Williamsburg. “I run a very busy establishment, and I’m like, what is going on?”

Because of the mistake, her bakery has gotten 150 calls from people seeking medical-insurance information.

At least you have a chance to find something you’ll like on the menu.

“Let them eat cupcake.”

“We’ve substituted cupcakes for the peasant’s private healthcare, so let’s see if they notice...”

I'm going to write you a prescription for chocolate cupcakes to be taken orally three times a day. Be sure to take all of them.

Just wait till you are trying to get to hospital emergency room in time, matter of life or death, and you call IRS or healthcare.gov or whomever it is that Cruella Sebelius tells us to call, and it works as well as things are working now, you have minutes, seconds to live
and they send you to a bakery!
it WILL happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just add a cupcake to that apple a day and you have better health care than Obamacare.

If I was this shop owner, I would have a blast with these Obamacare callers. Just imagine the hilarity that would ensue as I explain what a piece of crap this law is and how it’s all the fault of the Democrats. Then I would ask them to tell their friends and family what they learned.

I may not sell that many cupcakes, but boy would I feel good.
