LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Congressman Ron Kind is disagreeing with Governor Scott Walker's plan to hold off on implementing President Obama's health care plan.

On Thursday, the Governor said he would wait and see if a Republican administration and Senate would be elected in November.  If that happens, its likely that Republicans would attempt to overturn the health care proposal.

Kind tells WXOW that the plan will go into effect and believes that the state needs to keep up. "We need to start moving forward on it as soon as possible to get things in place by 2014," says Kind. "These health insurance exchanges are something I worked very hard on.  I think it makes sense.  You introduce competition with competing health care plans."
