President Barack Obama is hailing a "historic day" for uninsured Americans who now can purchase health care coverage through new insurance exchanges.
He says the opportunity is life-changing for those who could not get access to health care before Tuesday's launch of the exchanges.
The president spoke in the White House Rose Garden Tuesday alongside a group of citizens who plan to purchase insurance through the system.
