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 topped that mark, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The account for Chinese nationals, however, swung to a deficit of 40.9 billion won, according to Chosun Ilbo. The reports note that the surplus has reignited debate over reciprocity and fairness among insured groups, with calls growing for system improvements that balance fiscal soundness and equity among subscribers.
