occurrence, a decrease in the cost-sharing upper limit, and monetary
support for catastrophic medical costs.

all medical services will be covered by the National Health Insurance.

insurance coverage. the purpose of this plan was to increase the coverage
rate by up to 70%. The government has suggested detailed plans but there
remain many controversial issues and limitations with regard to the
practical aspects. Thus, further research and suggestions are needed.

plan for benefit expansion in national health insurance system, and
considered tasks and improvement in the future. The results of the study
are as follows: In health care, the benefit coverage rate is an important
issue. However, in order to increase the coverage within a limited reset, the
mandatory items should be identified first. Principles and methodologies to
set priorities need to be discussed and agreed with experts. In addition, the
scope extension plan should also take into account the improvement of the
medical delivery system and restrictions on medical use, reflecting the
characteristics of Korean medical use. Finally, the improvement of the
health insurance system requires a long-term financial management plan
and a comprehensive plan.
