10 Times Obama Said Signing Up For Obamacare Sucks Today

"And I think it's fair to say that nobody is more frustrated by that than I am, because, precisely because the product is good, I want the cash registers to work, I want the checkout lines to be smooth so I want people to be able to get this great product."

"While the website will ultimately be the easiest way to buy insurance through the marketplace, it isn't the only way.

But instead of paying $1,600 per month for a group insurance plan, we have a plan that will only cost us $692 a month, a savings of $900 per month."
