Sure there is. As Fred has pointed out, and it is true, many Democrats don't like the ACA for a number of reasons. If there was a negotiating table brought together they would be more than willing to talk things out. The GOP is obviously close to having the votes for a repeal of the whole thing, so if they said 'let's get a bipartisan group together to transform the ACA into something better' then they could have enough votes (if they don't lose the hardliners that just don't like the federal government doing things in general) to override a veto even if it came down.
There is plenty of incentive there is the table is just brought together.
