Well, if you allow open ended coverage for pre existing conditions, what is the driving force to pay for health insurance prior to developing some serious, costly medical condition? What I read into his statement, if it is accurately portrayed and shown in context, is that folks will only enact the coverage, which will cost them money, when they are proven to need it.

Mike Huckabee is a very kind and caring man. He's also very practical and honest and makes an excellent point. I wonder if he was asked what his solution would be for those with preexisting conditions and what his answer was?
There should definitely be some sort of repercussion/penalty for someone who chooses not to participate in the health insurance system and expects to be covered only after they develop a condition for which they don't care to pay full price for.
Maybe they could first have to pay a deductible equal to the sum total of premiums that they should have been paying all along and then they'd qualify for coverage. That seems very reasonable.
