When they're not trying to meddle with healthcare, they're killing one of the internet's favourite jokes.

The US department of health and human services just tweeted a version of the "doge" meme.

That joke typically features a cute shiba inu and its internal monologue.

The state-created version offered by the government department has been made to encourage people to visit HealthCare.gov and sign up for health insurance.

Fans of the joke are understandably outraged by the hijacking.

DogeCare.gov has not yet materialised.
