The state of John McCain’s health is an issue of grave concern for
all Americans, regardless of political persuasion.  Given the fact
that he has been treated for an invasive melanoma and other maladies, it
is important that he release his full health records.

For a very brief three hours in May, McCain released 1,173 pages of his
medical records
to a carefully selected group of
reporters
.  They were not allowed to make any copies or phone
calls.  Why such secrecy?  

We have enlisted
a group of doctors from around the country to lead the effort to make
sure the public is able to see and make judgments for themselves. 
Secrecy is not of service to our democracy, transparency is. 

Cancer is a serious issue.  That’s why 30 medical
doctors have already signed our open letter telling McCain to
issue a full, public disclosure of all his medical records.  Send
this video far and
wide
to request that McCain release his full health records. 
Ask every medical doctor you know to sign onto the letter, and be sure to sign the letter
yourself!
  McCain’s records must be made public and
soon. 

While McCain doesn’t really care about our health
care
, we all should care about the health of McCain.

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
