Trump told the paper he was reconsidering his stance after Thursday's meeting with Obama, who urged him to protect parts of the law. Trump said he would like to keep the provision forbidding discrimination based on pre-existing conditions and to allow young Americans to remain on their parents' healthcare plans.Trump told the paper he was reconsidering his stance after Thursday's meeting with ObamaIt's a far cry from what Trump uttered during the primary to his boisterous fans at rallies
