Three weeks after the launch of the Affordable Health Care Act, healthcare.gov, is plagued by slowness and glitches. The site is the key portal for all those who are buying new insurance and the only place for the consumers in states that have not set up sites.

Obama stressed that despite the site glitches, the law is good and it's working.

"The essence of the law... is working just fine. In some cases... the price is lower than we expected. The choice is greater than expected."
