Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO's):  Due to rising health care costs many Americans have begun to turn to HMO's in order to lower their overall health care expenses.  They require periodic payments taken from your weekly salary.  Some plans do not cover all your expenses and cost less periodically while some cover all expenses but cost more.

Over the counter medicine (OTC):  In America if you have a cold the first thing you do is go to a drug store and look through the hundreds of medications available.  There is a drug for every cough, sneeze, and sore throat possible and hundreds of different companies producing similar drugs.

Drug dependence:  In America drugs have become a big problem for the health care industry.  One billion dollars a year are spent in this war on drugs with most going towards imprisonment as well as education and treatment.

Fitness Club:  A gym or other facility where most Americans go to exercise.  These places usually have weight-lifting equipment, stationary bicycles, treadmills, and swimming pools.
