In a speech today in Iowa, President Obama dared Republicans to make good on their threat to run on repealing health care reform.

“Now that we passed it, they’re already promising to repeal it. They’re actually going to run on a platform of repeal this November,” Obama said. “And my attitude is, ‘Go for it.'”

“If they wanna have that fight, we can have it,” he went on. “Because I don’t believe the American people are gonna put the insurance industry back in the driver’s seat. We’ve already been there, we’re not going back. This country’s moving forward.”
