(Bloomberg) President Barack Obama said the thousands of people now signing up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act overshadow the hit hes been taking in the polls for the defect-riddled roll-out of the Affordable Care Act.
The health care website problems were a source of great frustration, the president said at a news conference at the White House on Friday. I now have a couple million people, maybe more, who are going to have health care on Jan. 1, and that is a big deal. Thats why I ran for this office.
