Health Legacies from Franklin Roosevelt to Robert Dole, or How Medical and Health Care Issues Took Over the Nation's News

Pages 83-98 | Published online: 29 Oct 2010
 

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.
