Now she’s desperately trying to get the photo taken down. What makes it even worse, she says, is that she signed up for health insurance via the Affordable Care Act and loves it. UPDATE (7:51 p.m.): One of the pages, Right Wing News, has removed the image.
Helene Sula is a blogger from Dallas. On her website, she writes about her life and things she does fun, and posts the photos she takes. She also currently has a couple thousand followers on both Facebook and Twitter.
Sula said she started the blog in 2012 after a rock-climbing accident where she fell 20 feet to the ground, shattering her leg. She was out of work for a long time and blogging gave her something to focus on, she said.

Last Saturday morning, however, her idyllic corner of the internet got a lot more hateful when she woke up to a surprising amount of Facebook messages.
"I was in Las Vegas, I woke up to check my blog's Facebook page and I noticed I had a few extra messages than normal," Sula told BuzzFeed. "When I looked at the messages they were all the same: 'Hey your face is now a viral meme.' And when I clicked on it it was on a right-wing Facebook page."
