Republicans have long been pushing to repeal and replace ObamaCare, but multiple efforts stalled in the Senate due to a lack of GOP support.

Johnson's comments come after President Trump tweeted Saturday he had called Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer Chuck SchumerVideo of Lindsey Graham arguing against nominating a Supreme Court justice in an election year goes viral Graham signals support for confirming a Supreme Court nominee this year Pelosi orders Capitol flags at half-staff to honor Ginsburg MORE (D-N.Y.) "to see if the Dems want to do a great HealthCare bill."

"ObamaCare is badly broken, big premiums. Who knows!" Trump tweeted.

Schumer said Saturday he told Trump that Democrats are open to stabilizing the health care system, but that another push to repeal and replace ObamaCare was "off the table."

The president's outreach to Schumer comes as leaders of the Senate Health Committee are trying to rally Republicans and Democrats around a short-term plan aimed at lowering ObamaCare premiums for 2018 and 2019.
