President Obama delivered a White House address Tuesday urging Americans to support his new healthcare law, despite its troubled rollout. Obama spoke days after the administration reported major improvements in the performance of the federal healthcare website after its plagued launch over the past two months.

President Obama: “Do not let the initial problems with the website discourage you, because it’s working better now, and it’s just going to keep on working better over time. Every day I check to make sure that it’s working better, and we’ve learned not to make wild promises about how perfectly smooth it’s going to be at all times. But if you really wanted health insurance through the marketplaces, you’re going to be able to get on and find the information that you need for your families.”
