President Obama made a bold prediction today regarding the future of his signature health care reform law while speaking at an event on women and the economy at Rhode Island College.
"No matter how many times Republicans threaten to repeal this law, we're going to keep it in place — because it's working," Obama said, to the applause of supporters. "Not only is it covering more people, not only is it protecting women, and people with pre-existing conditions from discrimination, but it's actually been part of the trend that's lowering health care inflation," he said.
