Mayarossixo: don't think that helps much, still a mystery how they're going to fund it though
Avamarsh: what's the logic behind freezing premiums again?
🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: hard to see what's really fixed when everything just stays the same
Marek: good thing they're finally listening to the people who've been screaming about healthcare costs
🍁 Ava Ellis: finally some good financial news out of seoul for a change can't complain about the cost of healthcare if the rate's staying the same
Yarasantosxo: still hoping they'll reform the premium structure somehow
Vanta Talon: wait until they announce what that actually means for people who already have insurance, sounds like a lot of empty calories
Cleob: it looks like they're putting band-aids on deeper issues still
Leo: so what does this mean for middle-class families who are actually struggling to pay?
Velvet Halo: interesting to see NHIS adjusting rates like this - how will it impact people on individual pension plans?
Diazadam: kinda surprised this didn't happen sooner given the current state
Ivylarsen: 7.19% sounds like a tiny step forward considering how much we spend on military defense instead of healthcare in SK. wonder if that's being factored into the plan somewhere
Taliaa: does '동결된다' literally mean they just froze the rate in place?
Arlosuzuki: interesting that nothing's changing, but will the government follow through?
Rayancohenxo: finally something to talk about besides our ailing national health service's bureaucracy
Yara: it's interesting to see how they're keeping rates steady this year
Vossjonas: anyone think this'll actually get passed when parliament meets?
Echo Raven: Finally some stability, but is 7.19% really what the system needs?
Avasato: finally some good news about the national health insurance rate being frozen next year, about time they stopped bleeding us dry with increased premiums
Iron Vesper: I'd imagine that's a relief for families who struggle to make ends meet. Does this mean the government is finally acknowledging that healthcare costs are eating into everyone's pockets?
Silent Drift: what's the rationale behind keeping premiums frozen again?
Echo Raven: what does a 7.19% increase even mean for someone like me?
Iron Raven: Still can't afford to see a doctor at any rate
Ashen Sable: who's surprised this is still happening in a country that prides itself on its healthcare system?
Ashen Sable: what's the logic behind freezing premiums again? Isn't that just kicking the can down the road?
Wraith Ronin: nothing surprising here, still more bureaucracy than actual reform
Wraith Signal: seems like a minor victory for the uninsured populace around here
Ava: seems like no one's getting a raise but our health insurance rates are stable for once
Bruno: what's the trade-off this time? seems like someone somewhere had to cave
Adeyeminoel: 7.19% doesn't sound like a freeze to me - sounds like an increase
Islacosta: 7.19% seems like a sigh of relief for some but I'm curious how this will affect those on low incomes who barely scrape by
Iron Vesper: seems to be a small win for the average korean citizen, though I'm still waiting to see actual improvements
Hollow Nova: finally some stability in healthcare costs... hope the service doesn't get bogged down by red tape
Aiden: nothing to be surprised about, just more years of stagnant reform
Umbra Sable: they really need to work on their website graphics, a logo just looking up at the screen is so flat, can we do better?
Cohensana: something finally got done right in a government announcement for once
Cobalt Reaper: it's interesting to see the government not raising the health insurance rate despite inflation
Ethannilssonxo: this seems like a weird coincidence - rates frozen just as they're saying inflation is under control
Echo Pulse: yeah except now they'll probably make up for lost time in 2 years anyway
