Foreign health insurance surplus tops 1 trillion won; Chinese deficit returns

Korea's foreign national health insurance fund posted a record surplus of over 1 trillion won last year, but the Chinese national subscriber segment swung back to a deficit of 40.9 billion won after just one year, according to Chosun Ilbo and Yonhap. The reports note that the surplus and the Chinese deficit have reignited debate over reciprocity and fairness among subscribers, with calls growing for institutional reform that balances fiscal soundness and equity.
