White House Admits New Flaws in Health Exchange Rollout 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
The White House has acknowledged two key components of the new
healthcare insurance exchanges will take longer to repair than
previously disclosed. On Tuesday, a senior official said the
administration is not sure when low-income Americans will be able to
enroll in Medicaid online. The White House also acknowledged that online
enrollment for Spanish speakers is still inactive. Amidst growing
criticism of glitches in the health exchange rollout, the White House
said Tuesday it would bring in Jeffrey Zients, a former acting director
of the Office of Management and Budget, to oversee the process.
