Meet Adriana, the Former Face of Obamacare…
Adriana, whose face was plastered on healthcare.gov’s front page from Oct. 1-31, shared her story with ABC News last night.
According to ABC, Adriana is married with a 21 month-old son. She’s from Columbia, isn’t a U.S. citizen, and hasn’t signed up for Obamacare, though she is eligible to receive federal health benefits since she’s lived in the U.S. legally for six years.
She also expressed frustration with the fact that the government hasn’t even paid her for the use of her image on the Obamacare website.
Adriana told Health and Human Services (HHS) officials to remove her image from the controversial web portal because she claims to consistently get bullied by people who don’t agree with Obamacare.
The Obama Administration, however, denies her assertion that her likeness was removed at her request.
Instead, a HHS spokesman told ABC that the picture was replaced with more generic images because, “Healthcare.gov is a dynamic website.”
Here’s the nearly three minute interview:
