“If this were a fairy tale, it would be 'Goldilocks and the three bills' -- ObamaCare, the House version and the Senate version. And at this point, none of them are 'just right.' They are all are either 'too hot' or 'too cold' and in part because both sides are looking at this trying to make it an ideological bill rather than a practical, pragmatic bill,” he continued.
Huckabee questioned the end game of the Senate bill, saying it does not accomplish what President Trump promised on the campaign trail.
“If the end game is to save money, then the Republicans might be on the right track. But that’s not the game Donald Trump campaigned on and it is not the endgame that Americans care most about. They want access to affordable and realistic healthcare,” he said.
“I think Republicans are going to have to suck it up and say, ‘This isn’t going to get a lot cheaper, it can’t, it won’t,' ” Huckabee said, adding that the legislation “doesn’t say what the end game is.”
