Live From AMGA:
Huckabee on Healthcare
It's easy to see how Mike Huckabee's personal health history has influenced his views about healthcare policy. The former Arkansas governor addressed AMGA attendees during a networking lunch on the conference's last day, and although he seemed comfortable reciting a wide range of health statistics from memory, the story of how he turned his health around after being diagnosed with Type II diabetes was the most compelling part of his speech.
