Huckabee on Health

When Mike Huckabee was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, he took charge of his health, began to eat a more healthy diet, and started an exercise program. Whether it's his personal health, or the nation's health, he says there is no quick fix. He was a big loser in weight loss; let's make him a big winner for the White House.

The health care system in this country is irrevocably broken, in part because it is only a "health care" system, not a "health" system.

We don't need universal health care mandated by federal edict.

We do need to get serious about preventive health care.

I advocate policies that will encourage the private sector to seek innovative ways to bring down costs.

I value the states' role as laboratories for new market-based approaches.

When I'm President, Americans will have more control of their health care options, not less.

As President, I will work with the private sector, Congress, health care providers, and other concerned parties to lead a complete overhaul of our health care system.

Our health care system is making our businesses non-competitive in the global economy. It is time to recognize that jobs don't need health care, people do, and move from employer-based to consumer-based health care.
