This repository originally lived at github.com/CMSgov/healthcare.gov, but apparently disappeared from there sometime on 12 Oct 2013. There is reason to believe that the repository's owners pulled it down mainly because they didn't want to handle misdirected bug reports being filed against it -- bug reports that were really about the back-end systems that this code merely interfaced with but had no control over.
(There was also a problem with the original repository's commit history. The repository as originally posted -- i.e., what this is a clone of -- contained only one commit, a "top-skim" style import of the code, and was thus missing the true commit history. An issue had been opened against it, asking for the problem to be fixed, but the repository was taken down before that had a chance to be addressed.)
A possibly better course would have been for them to rename the repository to "healthcare.gov-web-front-end" or something like that, and update the README.md file to prominently state which kinds of bug reports would be appropriate to file there and which wouldn't. I hope that after the brouhaha dies down, the repository is restored, with properly historicized commit history.
In the meantime, the repository's disappearance was widely noticed. Lauren C. Still saw a tweet of mine asking about it, and replied that there was a git bundle at archive.org/details/healthcare-gov-gitrepo preserving this repository as of 1 Oct 2013. That's what's imported here. The contents of the original README.md follow.
