Obama to Address Glitches Plaguing Healthcare Exchange 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama is set to speak at the White House today about the
technical issues that have plagued the rollout of his signature
healthcare law. The administration claims some 476,000 applications have
been filed through federal and state exchanges. But they have not said
how many people have actually enrolled. Now The New York Times reports
it may be weeks or even months before the cascade of glitches is
resolved. Unnamed sources say the enrollment process is masking deeper
issues, and millions of lines of software code may need to be rewritten.
