Having trouble signing up for the Affordable Care Act?  Call Baxter, he might be able to help!

Americans across the country are struggling to sign up for ObamaCare with all the problems on the federal health care website, however, one enrollee has successfully obtained coverage through a state-run exchange; a Colorado man’s 14 year old Yorkie!

Shane Smith from Fort Collins, told KDVR he received a letter last week informing his dog that a health insurance account had been opened for the pup through Connect for Health Colorado. Smith, who was the actual applicant, said he did give Baxter’s name as a security question as part of the registration process. Smith said he called Connect for Health Colorado and they fixed the problem. “There’s been a lot of headaches that’s come from all of this,” Smith told KDVR. Smith apparently is loosing his insurance causing him to search the new exchanges. But, “As long as Baxter’s covered, that’s all that counts,” he joked.

Colorado runs its own health insurance exchange that is separate from the federal website. A Connect for Health Colorado spokesman told KDVR its system would never make up a name when generating a letter, but it works quickly to resolve the situation when mistakes are made.

We’re not quite sure if Baxter got any subsidies or not yet!

After serving in the United States Navy for 22 years I retired from the service late in 1991. Having always loved the southwest, shortly after retiring, I moved to the Albuquerque area where I have resided since. Initially I worked as a contractor for approximately 6 years doing cable construction work. That becoming a little dangerous, at an elevated age, I moved into the retail store management environment managing convenience stores for roughly 16 years. With several disabilities, I am now fully retired and am getting more involved with helping Pastor Dewey & Pastor Paul with their operations at FGGAM which pleases my heart greatly as it truly is - "For God's Glory Alone". I met my precious wife Sandy here in Albuquerque and we have been extremely happily married for 18 years and I am the very proud father to Sandy's wonderful children, Tiana, our daughter, Ryan & Ross, our two sons, and proud grandparents to 5 wonderful grandchildren. We attend Christ Full Deliverance Ministries in Rio Rancho which is lead by Pastor's Marty & Paulette Cooper along with Elder Mable Lopez as regular members. Most of my time is now spent split between my family, my church & helping the Pastors by writing here on the FGGAM website and doing everything I can to support this fantastic ministry in the service of our Lord. Praise to GOD & GOD Bless to ALL! UPDATED 2021: Rick and Sandy moved to Florida a few years ago. We adore them and we pray for Rick as he misses Sandy so very, very much!
