Former White House doctor to presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, now Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-FL), has expressed his concern over the lack of transparency surrounding President Joe Biden’s physical exam. Jackson has been vocal in his demand for the President to take a cognitive test and make the results public, yet the White House has yet to comply. Jackson has taken to social media to express his frustration, and he is not alone in his concern.
The American people do not care for another vague “written report” of Biden’s health, intended only to check a box and cover up the real issues! We want his physician to BRIEF THE PHYSICAL & answer our questions! We want a COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT! We want ANSWERS!!

Jackson’s tweets on the matter have been met with agreement from other medical professionals. Obama’s former doctor Dr. David Scheiner also believes that the public is not getting a real picture of Biden’s health, and New York ER physician Dr. Stewart Fischer has noted that the physical exam was “not very specific” and did not include routine tests for his age. The Daily Mail reported that a number of Democrats are worried about Biden’s re-electability, given the state of his health and apparent deterioration.
The lack of transparency surrounding Biden’s physical exam has been met with alarm from Rep. Jackson and other medical professionals. Jackson has called for the White House to address Biden’s mental health, and for the results of a cognitive test to be made public. He has also expressed his frustration with the media for not pushing for a cognitive test, and for allowing Biden to govern in the midst of decline.
Dr. Scheiner has noted that Biden does not look like a healthy 80 year old, and Dr. Fischer has pointed out that prognosticating years in advance as people get older is difficult and unpredictable. The Daily Mail has reported that a number of Democrats are concerned about Biden’s re-electability due to his health and apparent deterioration.
