House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi criticized the Obamacare roll out during her appearance on ABC’s This Week, but said she’s confident it’ll succeed in the end. “As far as the Affordable Care Act as I call it, the fact is that, yes, what has happened is unacceptable in terms of the glitches,” the former Speaker said. “They were overwhelmed to begin with. There is much that needs to be done to correct the situation.” Pelosi said the high traffic, despite the glitches, suggests once things start running smoothly then the law will eventually become a success. “This has to be fixed but what doesn’t have to be fixed is the fact that tens of millions more people will have access to affordable quality health care,” she said.
