Donald Trump's health care plan is in limbo after pushback from Republicans who were caught off guard by the president's forthcoming proposal -- questioning, in particular, whether it would include additional abortion restrictions. Trump had been expected to unveil a new policy framework Monday afternoon, said two people familiar with the plan and granted anonymity to describe deliberations around it. That framework was expected to center around a two-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies with income caps and other new limits backed by conservatives.
But while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that Trump remained focused on "unveiling a health care proposal," she declined to get into specifics about subsidy extensions or a timeline for the rollout: "I'll let the president speak for himself."
A White House official separately noted Trump's daily schedule never listed plans for a Monday rollout.
