The GOP is in serious danger of not having enough votes to pass their health care bill.
Several Republicans have come out Monday against the current measure to repeal and replace Obamacare, bringing CNN's whip count to 21 Republicans -- mostly moderates -- opposed to the bill with another dozen lawmakers still undecided.
The Republican Party can only afford to lose 22 votes assuming all of the Republicans are able to attend the vote and no Democrats cross over. The GOP is currently two votes away from another defeat.
Vice President Mike Pence, who has been working with congressional leaders from the start on the health care effort, headed up to Capitol Hill Monday afternoon to drum up support for the bill.
