Today is a day of despair, and it would be futile to tell those who fear and grieve for what is to come in America that they will be OK. It would also be dishonest: many of us, in truth, will not be OK.

Trump’s queasy prescription to ‘make America healthy again’ takes shape
Jumble of proposals include ‘massive reform of Obamacare’ and giving anti-vaxxer RFK Jr the helm of health agencies
