Huckabee: U.S. has 'sick care,' not health care



Sorry for the fact that the last couple posts have not been Huckabee related. Unless ya consider my attempt at "Rockabilly Poetry" to Mike Huckabee to be Huckabee related. I wonder how many of y'all recognized the songs I mentioned? No offense, but I prefer the vintage rock to anything modern, even country. Not that I don't like anything new, I do. Oh yes, back to Mike Huckabee.


Check out this article in the WCFcourier.com.

  • DAVENPORT --- The U.S. health care system is too focused on curing illness and not enough on preventing it, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said in Davenport on Monday.
  • Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, told about 60 people at the Adler Health Education Center that while universal coverage, the goal of all the Democratic presidential hopefuls, is laudable, the country ought to focus on lowering the cost of care.
  • The U.S. spends about $2 trillion a year on health care, or 17 percent of its gross domestic product, Huckabee said, with most of it to treat chronic disease.
  • "We don't have a health-care system. We have a sick-care system," he said.
