WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama, defiant against mounting criticism of his troubled healthcare plan, vowed on Monday to press ahead with the rollout and asked supporters to help as the White House struggled to gain control of the debate over his signature achievement.

Obama went before 200 of the core activists who helped turn out the vote for him in his re-election a year ago, seeking their assistance to enrol people into the Affordable Care Act amid signs that early enrolment numbers will fall far short of expectations.
