'Obamacare Girl' Disappears From Healthcare.gov Website

Now you see her, now you don’t.
That smiling face on the homepage of the Healthcare.gov website was there over the weekend, but has now dissapeared — replaced by four colorful, circular icons.
So, where did she go?
Twitter’s got a few ideas. One user joked that she had become the first victim of the mythical Obamacare death panels.
While another thought she simply might have known too much.
In actuality though, it’s nothing quite that nefarious.
The picture of the smiling young brunette, which was reportedly picked from a stock photo library, was removed from the site after multiple media outlets started investigations into the woman’s identity.
That included Buzzfeed, who dubbed the woman “Adriana” after discovering the image’s file name in the website’s source code.
And CNN who calls the woman “the Enigmatic Mona Lisa of health care.” Which is slightly nicer than names others have called her — like “Glitch Girl.” That, thanks to the Affordable Care Act website’s consistent troubles since its rollout Oct. 1. (Via Politix) Despite the overwhelming interest, it seems the Obama administration will be keeping mum about her identity.
Quoted by New York Daily News, a rep for the the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services said: "The woman featured on the website signed a release for us to use the photo, but to protect her privacy, we will not share her personal or contact info with anyone.”
Which, for her sake, is probably a good thing.

Glitch girl looks like one of the women in the school advertising posters where I just took medical coding and web design.

I'm not sure I understand the fascination with the identity of this girl. Who cares? If you were trying to log into this site hour after hour, day after day, you may develop unhealthy obsessions as well.

No one seems to be considering the obvious explanation for her disappearance.
Ted Cruz kidnapped her.

She signed a release and probably got paid zilch. She just wanted to show her support for obama.
