One of the reasons Korea was able to prevail over the coronavirus pandemic
was Korea's National Health Insurance.
=>prevail over : 극복하다 : 널리퍼지다라고만 생각했는데. 극복하다가 있다니!
Everyone is required to join by law.
The system provides more hospitals and hospital beds per person than in advanced European countries.
People didn't hesitate to visit a hospital, and there was no shortage of beds for confirmed patients.
The monthly fee for the National Health Insurance depends on each person's income level and property value.
There are dozens of tiers.
The amount a person pays can differ by a factor of 300.
=> 300배 만큼 차이나다 by a factor of 300 신기한 표현이자 유용한 표현
The insurance premium is different,
but everyone receives equal benefits.
Of course, you do need to pay a fee at a hospital or clinic.
But thanks to the system, it's not too much.
1. What are the pros and cons of private versus national health insurance?
=> 한국 국민건강보험 덕택에 많은 국민들이 의료비 걱정 없이 진료를 볼 수 있다.
- A lot of koreans don't have to worry to see a doctor due to K.NHI
=> 또한, 한국 국민건강보험료는 소득에 따라 다르기 때문에 소득재분배의 효과가 있다.
- Also, Korean Health Insurance fee has a effect of redistribution because its fee is different according to income
=> 하지만 암 같이 큰 수술에 있어서는 비용이 많이 들어간다.
- but It costs a lot to get a cancer surgery.
=> 최근엔 암도 국민건강보험으로 보장이 많이 가능하지만, 개인보험을 드는 이유는 따로 있다.
- Recently, Although cancer surgery can be coveraged by National Insurance, There is another reason for private insurances
=> 그것은, 일을 하지못할때 평소 벌었던 연봉만큼은 돈이 필요하기 때문이다.
- This is because we would need money we make a year if we get sick.
=> 그래야 병을 치료하고 사회로 복귀하기 까지, 충격을 최대한 완화할 수 있다.
- This can make us get over damage caused by illiness and get back to work
2. Are you satisfied with Korea's National Health Insurance? Why or why not?
=> 나름 만족한다
- It is safe to say that I am satisfied
=> 병원 가는것 자체를 꺼려하지 않기 때문이다.
- That's why I am not reluctant to go to see a doctor
=> 병원비 때문에 고민한 적은 별로 없기 때문이다.
- I haven't hesitated to go to see a doctor because of medical expenses
3. Why do you think Korea is so famous for its healthcare?
=> 정확한 내용은 모르지만
- I don't know details much
=> 병원을 쉽게 갈 수 있어서 그런거 아닐까?
- The reason why Its helthcare is famous is that we can go to a hospital easily?
=> 만원으로 진료를 볼 수 있는 나라가 몇이나 될까?
- How many countries are there ? we can get medical service under 10,000 won
