JL’s Twitter Health Care Survey: How bad is it in Europe and Canada?
First of all, let me discuss the premise of this particular conversation. I’m not analyzing the entire health care issue. It’s much too complex for me to do so without doing a LOT more homework. But I was just curious about a certain argument that some opponents have been throwing around a lot.
Their claim is that Obama is trying to give us the same health care system that they have in Canada and the UK AND that this is a terrible thing that we should be afraid of. So, to believe this argument, you first have to believe that the Obama proposal is that we copy Canada’s or the UK’s system. That claim is false on its face.

Legend sang the national anthem at the World Series and performed with Stevie Wonder on the same night.
By Kyle Anderson
For any singer, performing the national anthem at a World Series game is a pretty big deal. Getting to share a stage with one of your idols is also a rare and spectacular occasion. So how did John Legend feel about singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" to open Game 2 of the Yankees/ Phillies series before heading downtown to play two songs with Stevie Wonder at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert Thursday night?
"I feel like the luckiest kid in the world," Legend said. "I was able to do both the Yankees game and then come here with all these amazing artists."
Wonder brought Legend onto the stage about halfway through his set at the Madison Square Garden show.
