Four Republicans in the Senate have said they cannot support the nearly 1,000 page legislation as it stands, but with a slim margin of control the party needs to win over only one senator.
Once the bill passes the Senate, it will need to return to the House of Representatives where it faces another tough battle as Republicans control the chamber by only a few votes.
While President Donald Trump previously told Congress he wanted the legislation on his desk by 4 July, on Tuesday he conceded it would be "very hard" to meet that deadline.
