Governors split over effects of Obama’s health-care law

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker cheers on Republican presidential contenders, who all pledge a takedown of President Obama’s health-care reform law if they win the White House. Meeting with fellow state leaders at the National Governors Association here Sunday, the first-term Republican governor said his state can’t justify the plan’s added costs to his rapidly rising Medicaid budget when 90 percent of Wisconsin residents already have health insurance.
