Ask what Korea is talking about.

Korea's national health insurance fiscal balance for foreigners posted a surplus exceeding 1 trillion won ($753 million) last year, the first time it has crossed that threshold, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The overall surplus masks a deficit for Chinese nationals, who swung to a 409 billion won shortfall, according to the Korea Economic Daily. The data, released around Oct. 24-25, highlights the growing fiscal contribution of foreign enrollees even as specific nationality groups show losses.
