Where social media and the internet are concerned, we’ve out-kicked our coverage. Let’s hope we get a handle on them before they spell our doom. Today, we talk about the erosion of social norms and rules that used to make us one. Now, as Jackson Browne said, “Brightly burning bridges light our future.”

This time on Code WACK! 

Once again, a new single-payer bill, AB 2200 or CalCare, sponsored by the California Nurses Association, has been introduced in the California state legislature. How will it help save lives? Will it break the bank, or will it save us money? What’s different about this version of the bill and what kind of support does it have in the state legislature? 

To find out, we spoke to Assemblyman Ash Kalra. As a longstanding champion of single-payer health care, Assemblymember Kalra introduced statewide legislation known as CalCare (AB 1400 in 2021 and AB 2200 in 2023), which would guarantee comprehensive, high-quality health care for all Californians as a human right. This is the first episode in a two-part series.
