Tentative hello!

They’re closed down due to Covid.

Not surprising but too bad. (remind me, are the bars across from the stadium on Lane Ave or High St?)

Impossible. I've posted solutions to healthcare (Moosecare) and national election reform. Both would require compromise from both sides.
Of course the usual suspects on Blue team labelled me a rayciss or invoked Godwin's Law and those on the Red team ignored me .

I guess I should have mentioned there are some exceptions.

High st. Though the very first BDubs is no longer there but they did build a modern one on the corner of High and Lane where Bike Source used to be.

Moose care? I must have missed it. Tell me more. Would an enema for a blocked bowl be called a Rocky the Flying Squirrel?

I unveiled Moosecare initially on DCJ a few years back after I saw how Obamacare devastated the health insurance I provided for my employees , which they liked.
Moosecare is pretty detailed so no time to go into it here and now but to summarize there were different options, not a one size fits all.
Most importantly everyone has to pay into some type of plan.
Those that prefer Medicare for all would go to a VA type system.
Free-market advocates would have to pay into an HSA and pay cash to the provider of their choice. Any unused HSA funds could be bequeathed to heirs.
Other options between those two extremes were described.

Sailor thought the plan was brilliant, a couple others on Blue Team found it to be rayciss or fascist (I assume because I'm not a member of Blue Team.)

I think that if Moosecare has the following three conditions it would work at lowering cost.

It requires all persons to carry some form of coverage.
A public option is available.
Some form of Cost controls are implemented.

I say that because all developed nations in the world that have effectively reduced healthcare costs have implemented these three principles.

It has all three Mott.
The VA/Medicare for all is the public opinion.
Another option would be a medical cost sharing plan (MCSP)
The free market option and MCSP basically have cost control built in. Providers would be required to list their fees or negotiate with individuals.

Feel free to play devil's advocate and ask questions. I thought it all out pretty well.

Hey I’m open minded to any plan that includes those three principles. That’s where Barry screwed the pooch with Obama care. He was so blinded by compromising on those three principles in order to get bipartisan support that he dropped two of those three principles and then the vote went down on party lines. It was a major miscalculation on Barry’s part as Dems had control of the House and Senate and he absolutely could have passed the PP&ACA without Republican support. Then to add insult to injury the universal mandate was over turned with the end result that it did little if anything to reduce growing healthcare cost.

It reminds me about what the character Mike in Breaking Bad said about half measures.

That ended up turning the PP&ACA into a Rube Goldberg Three Headed Hydra.
