Model Featured on Healthcare.gov Speaks Out Against Cyberbullying

Identified as Adriana

The mysterious, smiling woman who graced the HealthCare.gov home page for much of its troubled rollout has gone public, saying she wants to stand up to "cyberbullying" she has faced when the website went live.

"They have nothing else to do but hide behind the computer. They're cyberbullying," the woman who asked to be identified as Adriana told ABC News. "I'm here to stand up for myself and defend myself and let people know the truth."

Care to define 'cyberbullying'?

From the article:

"Before the rollout, Adriana contacted the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which oversees implementation of the Affordable Care Act exchanges. Adriana wanted to have free family photos taken and she said in exchange for that, the administration could use them on its health website.
...
Adriana is a wife and mother to a 21-month-old son who lives in Maryland, she said. Her husband is a U.S. citizen; she is Colombian, has lived in the U.S. for six years and is applying for citizenship.
"

WTF? From another commentor: "chillyone -Who the hell calls up Medicare for free family photos? And who the hell would choose a non-US citizen as the poster child for Obamacare? Do these idiots have a clue?"

Those are exactly my thoughts. That is just bizarre.
