While most candidates use anecdotes or dry policy addresses, presidential candidate Mike Huckabee used Hanna-Barbera cartoons as a metaphor to talk about health care during his recent visit to the Upstate.
Huckabee said it was strange that people can access their bank account anywhere in the world via an ATM, but it was practically impossible to transfer medical records from hospital to hospital.
“We have Jetsons technology on ATM, and Flintstones technology on health care,” Huckabee said to a loud round of applause.
This was Huckabee’s first visit in the state since his second-place finish at the Iowa Straw Poll – a victory that he said makes him a leading candidate for the Republican nomination as opposed to a dark horse.
Former Arkansas Governor and Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee sits down with me to discuss the fair tax, education, the tenth amendment, religion in public life, foreign policy, and health policy.
Mike Huckabee tells everyone how to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps following the Steve Skvara interview. He does slam the corporations for what they’re doing but his solutions are to put the problems back in the individuals laps rather than the government having a safety net for them, and he does not explain what they should do about corporations being out of control. He seems a little more concerned for the collapse of the Republican party.
