President Obama said in comments broadcast Tuesday, on the cusp of enrollment in Obamacare’s exchanges, that of course there will be “glitches” in the implementation of the health reform — months of glitches, he added.

He made the remarks to NPR, while expressing confidence that his signature law will provide “the prospect that any American out there who does not currently have health insurance can get high-quality health insurance.”

But the part that likely resonates the most: “In the first week, first month, first three months, I would suspect that there will be glitches,” he said, as Politico reported. “This is 50 states, a lot of people signing up for something. And there are going to be problems. And I guarantee you, there will be problems because we’ve got precedent. When Massachusetts, just one state, set this up, it took quite a long time. It took several months before everything was smooth.”

His comments came as somewhat of a switch to his pre-Obamacare promises of a smooth and steady transition onto a more socialized form of health care.
