New Hampshire Right to Try: Michael Yakubovich’s Fight for Patients’ Freedom to Choose
In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Sarah Scott about the remarkable story of Michael Yakubovich and the successful push to pass Right to Try legislation in New Hampshire. A former state representative, Michael was diagnosed with a terminal illness and quickly ran into the harsh reality many patients face: limited treatment options and government barriers standing between them and potential hope.
Rather than accept those limits, Michael turned his personal fight into a cause. After being forced to travel to other states in search of experimental treatments, he worked with lawmakers to expand Right to Try so patients in New Hampshire could access innovative care without unnecessary red tape. His advocacy helped ensure that others facing life-threatening illnesses wouldn’t have to leave their home state just to pursue a chance at treatment.
