Every Dog Has His Day

Rare Obamacare ‘Success Story’: Dog In Colorado Is Now Insured

Owner Jokes: ‘As Long As Baxter’s Covered That’s All That Counts’

“It had to happen: ObamaCare is literally going to the dogs. One dog, at least; Shane Smith, of Fort Collins, says his dog Baxter now has a health insurance account in his name through Connect for Health Colorado. Smith registered with Connect for Health Colorado because, guess what? His insurance was cancelled by Obamacare. The next thing he knew … he got a letter informing him Baxter had a plan.” (“CO Man's Dog Gets Insurance Via Obamacare,” Breitbart, 11/20/13)

• DOG OWNER: “Typical Obamacare, that they would insure your dog by mistake…” (“Man Signs Up For His Insurance; His Dog Gets Covered Instead,” KDVR, 11/19/13)
• DOG OWNER: “I thought, ‘Wow, this is so awesome … They have gone out of their way to insure my 14-year-old Yorkie.’” (“CO Man's Dog Gets Insurance Via Obamacare,” Breitbart, 11/20/13)

“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.’” (“Colo. Man Signs Up For His Insurance, His Dog Gets Covered Instead,” KDVR, 11/15/13)

DOG OWNER: “There’s been a lot of headaches that’s come from all of this. All the phone calls. All the nonsense… As long as Baxter’s covered that’s all that counts.” (“Man Signs Up For His Insurance; His Dog Gets Covered Instead,” KDVR, 11/19/13)

Cold Reality: Millions Lose Coverage Across America

“A CBS News analysis found that nearly 5 million Americans will lose their current health plan due to Obamacare.” (“CBS News: 61 Percent Of Americans Disapprove Of Obamacare,” CBS, 11/20/13)

“Millions of Americans who buy their own health insurance are being informed that their policies will no longer be offered starting in the new year… This chart shows that at least 3.5 million Americans have received the notices so far.” (“State By State: 3.5 Million Insurance Policies Canceled,” AP, 11/2/13)
