Mike Huckabee: Declare a war on Alzheimer's, Cancer and other diseases

Last night, during the September 26, 2015 CNN Republican debate, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said that the U.S. should declare a war on Alzheimer's, Cancer, and other diseases.

Does he mean we should declare a war on Alzheimer's and cancer the same way we declared war on drugs, poverty, and terror?  We aren't winning those wars.
