• Mike Huckabee is not in favor of importation or re-importation of prescription drugs because
he feels that this is the only way in which the US can maintain control over the quality and safety
of drugs. 

• In order to bring about a reduction in the use of prescription drugs, Mike Huckabee has
suggested prevention of disease to be a more effective solution rather than cure.

• Mike Huckabee has suggested a self discipline routine which should be followed by all
Americans as a road to good health rather than rely on drugs. The practitioners of this routine
should incorporate fruits and vegetables as a part of their daily diet, should eliminate fried
foods, should exercise daily and read books based on health and fitness.

• Being a believer of preventive medicine rather than treatment care, Mike Huckabee is of the
opinion that instead on falling ill, visiting a doctor and using prescription drugs, the healthcare
system of the country should focus actively on prevention of diseases. 

• Mike Huckabee is strictly against the proposal of allowing Americans to buy drugs from
other developed countries at a lower cost because he says this would make it difficult for the law
to identify the source of fraudulent medicines which may prove to be harmful instead of beneficial.
According to him it would also lead to a compromise on the high standards maintained by American
pharmacies. 

• Since many of the prescription drugs are related to alcohol consumption and obesity, Mike
Huckabee has suggested that healthy lifestyles which would result in the elimination of such habits
should be rewarded with a reduction in their insurance expenditure.
