the public isn't enthusiastic about the idea. efforts are under way to come up with something soon. athena jones joins us from the white house. is there enough support to pass a bill by next week. >> reporter: that's the question. this obamacare repeal is something the white house very much wants to get done. despite the talk about moving on to tax reform or another issue after the failure of the last push, it's clear repealing and replacing this law is a priority. it's something the president hasn't stopped talking about, something he wants to get done soon and he sounded optimistic about the prospects of that happening during the press conference today with the italian prime minister. watch. >> the plan gets better and better and better and it's gotten really really good and a lot of people are liking it a lot. we have a good chance of getting it soon. i'd like to say next week, but i believe we will get it.
