Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says the healthcare law that
Mitt Romney signed as governor of Massachsusetts shouldn't automatically eliminate Romney as a presidential candidate in 2012,
Politico reports.
"I don't think it disqualifies him," Huckabee said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "I don't have a problem with a governor in any state taking a risk, trying something bold."
In his new book, Huckabee takes Romney to task for the health plan, which Huckabee called "RomneyCare," asserting that it proves "socialized medicine does not work."
