The American Healthcare Act is intended to replace parts of President Barack Obama’s signature “Obamacare” law.
A vote on Thursday was delayed because of opposition from some Republicans.
Mr Trump reportedly warned fellow Republicans that they had a choice between voting for his bill on Friday or being stuck with Obamacare for good.
The president made the warning during a closed-door meeting at the White House, US media reported.
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.
