   It's a real shaggy dog story. While Americans across the country   
   are struggling to sign up for ObamaCare due to problems with the   
   federal health care website, at least one enrollee has   
   successfully gotten covered through a state-run exchange: a   
   Colorado man’s 14-year-old Yorkie.   
      
   Fort Collins resident Shane Smith told KDVR he received a letter   
   last week informing his dog,Baxter, that a health insurance   
   account had been opened for the pup through Connect for Health   
   Colorado.   
      
   Smith told the station he had to sign up for coverage through   
   the state exchange because his health insurance plan was   
   cancelled under ObamaCare. He isn’t sure how Baxter wound up   
   getting enrolled instead, but he said he did give Baxter’s name   
   as a security question as part of the registration process.   
      
   “It was pretty funny. Typical ObamaCare, that they would insure   
   your dog by mistake,” Smith told KDVR.   
      
   Smith said when he called Connect for Health Colorado they fixed   
   the problem, but he is still wary of ObamaCare due to all the   
   issues.   
      
   “There’s been a lot of headaches that’s come from all of this,”   
   Smith told KDVR.  “All the phone calls. All the nonsense. They   
   ended up giving me good coverage I think, but who knows if   
   they’re going to take it away,” Smith said.   
      
    “As long as Baxter’s covered, that’s all the counts,” he joked.   
      
   Colorado runs its own health insurance exchange that is separate   
   from the problem-plagued website Healthcare.gov, which is run by   
   the Department of Health and Human Services. 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.
