This time on Code WACK!
Today, we’re talking about rising healthcare costs and the renewed momentum behind Medicare for All. Recent polling shows majority support for the idea across Democrats, independents, and even a notable share of Republicans, even when voters are told it would replace most private insurance and require higher taxes.
As premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs continue to climb, healthcare affordability is once again at the forefront of the political debate. To help us unpack what’s driving this support and whether it represents a real political opportunity, we’re joined by longtime healthcare advocate and policy strategist Michael Lighty, president of Healthy California Now and former healthcare constituency director for the Bernie 2020 campaign. This is the first of two episodes with Michael Lighty.

Is It Time to Invoke the 25th Amendment? | Karel Cast
Is It Time to Invoke the 25th Amendment? | Karel Cast
Donald Trump’s latest post targeting Rob Reiner has shocked even longtime Republicans — and for many, it feels like the moment where denial finally ends. This is no longer about political disagreement. It’s about fitness, stability, and responsibility.
On today’s episode of The Karel Cast, we examine the growing concerns about Trump’s health, behavior, and ability to govern. This is a man with access to nuclear codes — someone most people wouldn’t trust to babysit a child — yet elected officials continue to look the other way. Why?
The Constitution provides a mechanism for moments like this: the 25th Amendment. That responsibility falls to the Cabinet — but will they act? Or are fear, money, and loyalty to MAGA preventing them from doing their duty, even as polls show Trump’s own base beginning to turn?
We’ll talk about political cowardice, constitutional accountability, and why so many leaders refuse to act even when the warning signs feel impossible to ignore.
Plus: with Christmas Eve just days away, are you ready — emotionally, mentally, and practically — for the holidays?
