Former Major League pitcher and cancer survivor Bob Tufts explains why increased government involvement and penny-pinching insurance companies are making doctors fearful of exploring novel medical treatments for patients and are instead applying a cook-cutter approach to health care. As a result, the lives of many Americans are needlessly at risk. Tufts, who is now a patient advocate and co-founder of "My Life Is Worth It," says he would be dead if he got sick in a country with government-run care and offers his advice for making sure the U.S. doesn't follow suit.
