Obama says glitches being addressed in health rollout

President Obama defended the health care law amid a rough rollout and a partial government shutdown. He said technology glitches on the health exchange websites are being fixed while promising to reopen the government if Republicans vote to end the shutdown and raise the debt limit. He noted Iran may be a year or more from a nuclear weapon and urged a “bad deal” avoidance, as diplomacy with Iran continues.
