Karmel Allison, who was standing behind President Barack Obama Monday during a speech in the Rose Garden, almost fainted during the president’s remarks.

Obama, who helped the woman as she grew faint, was speaking on widespread problems with sign-ups on the health care website since its launch on Oct. 1.

The White House released the following description of Allison ahead of the president’s speech:

Karmel Allison was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was nine years old. She has stayed on the same insurance ever since, despite constantly rising costs, for fear she would not be able to find a plan that would cover her due to her pre-existing condition.
