The federal website where consumers can sign up for medical coverage under President Obama’s health care law unexpectedly stopped taking applications for several hours early Monday, the last day of open enrollment, because of a software problem.

Consumers who started an application and left their email addresses will be invited back when the system is available.

Last week, the administration said it would extend the deadline for people who tried to apply but were blocked by technical problems with the site.
