ObamaCare Screw Up Sends Callers To Cupcake Shop

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.

“There has to be somebody who can help with ObamaCare; that’s their own mess,” she said.

You’re more likely to get health insurance information from the cupcake shop than you are from the Healthcare.gov website.

I think you mean Kathy Sibelius PRO-claims she knows nothing! She brandishes her ignorance with arrogance, just like The President of Lies. “How do you like me NOW?”

Once they knew the calls were being misdirected, they should have answered as follows:
Donut shop: “Obamacare Central, how may I help you?
Caller: “Yea, I need to sign up for health insurance.
Donut shop: “Sorry, our systems are broken and won’t be up until the end of November. We recommend you call your Senator’s office. The Senate has agreed to give you free coverage until the end of the year.”

Better a Cupcake Shop than a men’s bath house, a sex toy boutique, or a madame’s contact number. How sweet it is!
