President Barack Obama is expected to address the widespread problems being reported with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act's online Health Insurance Marketplace this morning.

Several states that did not set up their own health exchanges, including Florida, have experienced a myriad of technical difficulties that have made it hard for those seeking insurance to sign up.

The glitches have led to increased criticism from detractors of the law who see it as more evidence that it should be repealed. That debate was central to the government shutdown and debt ceiling crisis that came to a close at the last minute last week. 

Obama will speak this morning from the White House Rose Garden.  You can watch his address live below:
