Abstract
Coverage of medical and health care issues has become a staple of the American press. To explain today's saturation of such coverage, I present a political continuum from reporting on the health of President Franklin Roosevelt to that of Republican presidential candidate Robert Dole. I suggest that the public can better be served by disclosures of medical records of political candidates as well as of elected officials.
