Obama DAREs Republicans: Show me a better plan and 'I will publicly support repealing Obamacare'

President Barack Obama on Friday told Republicans they should be willing to present a replacement plan for Obamacare before they vote to repeal it.

And Obama said he'd be willing to support killing his own landmark health-care law if the GOP offers one that is demonstrably better.

"I am saying to every Republican right now, if you can in fact put a plan together that is demonstrably better than what is Obamacare, I will publicly support repealing Obamacare" and replacing it with the GOP's plan, Obama told Vox during a livestreamed interview from Washington, DC.

"But I want to see it first."
