Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina still thinks there's a path forward for a last-ditch effort to end "Obamacare," even after his friend, Sen. John McCain, said he opposes the bill.

Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Graham says Republicans are "moving forward" with a bill he co-sponsored with Illinois Sen. Bill Cassidy to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.

Republicans hold a 52-48 majority in the Senate and can only afford to lose two votes.

Graham mentioned Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Paul has said he's a "no" and Collins said on CNN Sunday she finds it "very difficult" to see herself backing the bill.
