US EditionRepublicans balk at Trump’s health care proposal before it’s even released
- On Monday, the White House delayed its proposal to avert a spike in Affordable Care Act premiums after harsh blowback from Republican allies and rank-and-file Republican lawmakers.

- The swift backlash highlighted deep Republican Party divisions and little expectation that a two-year extension with stricter guardrails could pass House Republicans, while deal-minded Democrats offered tepid praise but most Democrats rejected it.
