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.
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.
Hes not sure exactly how the confirmation letter went to his dog, but he says he thinks its 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 dogs name, Smith said. They must have just put it in the wrong slot or something.

Better get some young dogs signed up quickly so as not to have 14-year-old Baxter skew the risk pool!

After all, Obama did promise: “I’ll take care of you, my pretty, and your little dog too”

Baxter may need it after eating an entire wheel of cheese. He’s a wise dog, like a miniature Buddha covered in hair.
To: sheikdetailfeather
Baxter, you bad dog! Stay off the computer when I’m not here.

So now along with lying down with dogs, obama is also lying to dogs.
