Found this in a blog post on Catholic.org - two medical reports that look legitimate but the blog writer says have no source so ....
It's not rare for bad health of the president to be kept secret - FDR who predated TV was in a wheelchair, the American people had no idea and his health was bad and deteriorating through his terms in office, died before WWII ended. Kennedy had Addisons Disease and a back so bad he could barely get around when he was away from cameras they say, probably shot him up with pain killers/muscle relaxants. Reagan according to people who were around him was showing the signs of Alzheimers in his second term though he hadn't been diagnosed yet.
