Now you see her, now you dont.
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?
Twitters 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, its 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 womans identity.
That included Buzzfeed, who dubbed the woman Adriana after discovering the images file name in the websites 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 websites 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.
Oh my....that is the same crazy eyes and look (on a different face) that I saw as a woman tried to run me down with her car....one night of passion and she wouldn’t let go!!!
I learned it’s always easier getting in than getting out....and she missed....hahahaahaha
That’s great!
Cruz and Bush did it, she’s being held in a secret Tea Party compound underneath the runway at George Bush International Airport
They aren't mythical.
Now she’s the little live support face in the amazon kindle fire commercials. (Like that kind of service will have anyone from this continent in the popup box.)
Buried in snow this AM. Fifth of November and I'm shoveling three inches of Algore off'n mah pony. God Bless Global Warming.
Glitch Girl's probably in the Witness Protection program by now... ;-)
Who is glitchs girl?
Glitch Girl, the topic of our story - “0bamacare Girl”, now probably a stiffening corpse in Fort Marcy Park.
