Before I say something, you should watch this movie trailer first.

First, I occasionally feel that health care companies in the U.S are usually cruel.
I don't know if it is just my perspective, though.
However, compared to that in Korea, it is definitely sucky, meaning that health care is too expensive in the U.S.
For example, when I was in the army, one time I got three teeth broken because of Taekwondo competition. Although I was in the army, I had medical treatment in the army, and in the normal hospital, which didn't belong to the army.
Obviously, the army treatment was free, and the normal treatment was $900, which was not that expensive compared to that in the U.S.
However, one of my ALP friends got a tooth problem a few months ago. Do you know what happened? The treatment was like a couple of thousand dollars, which is still not reasonable to me.
My feeling is that the companies in the U.S are playing with people's lives.
I have one question: Is money more important than people's lives?
Now that Americans have "new" president, he will make a change, hopefully.
However, Americans should know that the health care system should be changed even if the change would probably look unusual to most of the Americans who don't know the true meaning of "Universal Healthcare."
Go, Obama! Can you please CHANGE that? (YES, WE CAN!)

Differences between the United States and Korea
I want to concentrate on a difference of public transportation.
Honestly, mass transportation in the states, or in California... sucks. (Sorry!)
It is not frequent, nor cheap.
One good thing about that is just more friendly bus drivers than those in Korea.
However, in Korea, you can go everywhere with just one dollar.
You can take subways, buses, and taxis, even though taxis are quite expensive.
Specifically, subway lines are like a spider web, meaning that you can possibly go where you want to go. And, it is more frequent. If you wait over five minutes, that means subways are in trouble, meaning that it comes every three or four minutes.
There are so many things to talk about.
Cell phones, technology, movies, and so forth.
However, definitely Korean mass transportation is way better than those in the U.S, at least in California.
