"You WILL like it" - Obamacare

President Barack Obama touted the benefits of Obamacare in remarks Monday morning at the White House, pointing to its expansion of Medicaid and of drug benefits for seniors even as he insisted that the glitch-laden online health insurance marketplace was getting fixed.

 "Nobody's madder than me that the website isn't working as well as it should, which means it's going to get fixed," he joked. "Everybody who wants insurance through the marketplace will get insurance, period." Obama's remarks kick off a publicity campaign for the HealthCare.gov website, geared toward encouraging Americans to enroll using the online exchanges. 

They also come weeks after the rocky rollout of enrollment on them began, and soon after his administration acknowledged the snafus and said it is enlisting the "best and brightest" to fix them. But even though the administration admits that there is a problem, it appears it still isn't sure what exactly the problem is, NBC News' First Read team writes. 

I have heard a number of people today, on radio, relating their experiences talking with Obama care ... experts . "Insurance is to help in the event of a catastrophic event, not cause it." 

"At Amazon and other instances, you get the product then give all pertinent information. NOT with Obama care when you call them, they get ALL the pertinent information, then ask what you want."

"I found a plan, signed up, then was 'pelted' with additional charges. I could afford it BEFORE then started all the 'add-ons,' then I couldn't afford it."

"One of the most confusing calls I have ever made."
