United States President, Donald Trump, has demanded a make-or-break vote in the House of Representatives on Friday on his troubled healthcare bill.
The American Health Care Act is meant to replace parts of President Barack Obama’s signature “Obamacare” law.
A vote on Thursday was delayed because of opposition from some Republicans, the BBC reports.
Mr. Trump reportedly told fellow Republicans that they had a choice between voting for his bill on Friday or being stuck with Obamacare for good.
The President gave the warning during a closed-door meeting at the White House.
A debate on the bill is taking place in the House of Representatives, with a vote due later on Friday.
Republican and House Speaker, Paul Ryan said: “For seven-and-a-half years we have been promising the American people that we will repeal and replace this broken law because it’s collapsing and it’s failing families, and tomorrow we’re proceeding.”
