South Carolina Media on Huckabee: Beaufort Gazette
The Beaufort, South Carolina Gazette had this to say about Governor Huckabee after visiting with him about health care (excerpt):"Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, chairman of the National Governors Association, is in Charleston this weekend at the group's annual meeting, spreading the message on better healthcare and other initiatives..."
"On Wednesday he told The Greenville News that "we are essentially a very diseased people," as indicated by the 16 percent of the nation's gross domestic product that is spent on healthcare."
"...Many reasons exist for the nation's poor health: overeating, smoking and lack of exercise even though the organizations and the Wardle Family YMCA promoted the Greater Lowcountry Shrinkdown, an effort to get South Carolinians to think healthy."
"Listen when he speaks. He is like the E.F. Hutton of the healthcare world."
True, very true.
