Health Matters

Back in 2008, John McCain's health was an issue.  He had had multiple brushes with skin cancer, one that required facial reconstruction surgery.  This article even notes the 5 and 10 year survival rates; McCain was 8 years along from the incident so might very well die in 2010.  Turns out that McCain is a tough old bird and still around but his health was absolutely a valid issue.
 
Today, the Democratic nominee is the case for concern.  Her unsteadiness on her feet, her persistent cough, issues with blood clots, and extended absence from the campaign trail do not paint a picture of health.  Her health issues are considered serious by an informal survey of 250 doctors.  Unlike McCain, Hillary has not released any medical records to counter the concerns.  As before and after photos of those who have served as president show, the job takes a heavy toll.  Is Hillary up to it?  That is not an unreasonable question.
