Korea has a socialized medical system, cheaper but not as good as the USA.

And BMWs were recalled in the USA for fire risk too. Took my car in not that long ago.

South Korea has excellent health care.

And to say that it's "cheaper" is a massive understatement. In Korea, if you get cancer or some debilitating disease and you are a legal resident of the country, you simply do not have to worry about your expenses. In the U.S., even with insurance, you could easily be paying $10,000 for a procedure. If you don't have insurance, you could very easily have to declare bankruptcy. Because you got an illness. Literally every single first world country (and many developing nations) have some form of universal healthcare, except the U.S.
