Does Korea Have Free Healthcare? Universal, Not Free​

Healthcare in South Korea is not free, but it’s close to universal and remarkably affordable by international standards. Nearly every resident is covered by the National Health Insurance (NHI) system, which pays the majority of medical costs while patients cover the rest through co-payments that typically range from 20% to 60% depending on where and how they receive care. The system is funded by mandatory payroll contributions, and as of 2026, the total contribution rate is 7.19% of monthly income for employed workers. Even with co-payments, an annual cap on out-of-pocket spending prevents catastrophic medical bills.

I corrected you. It is much better than ours.

Yes — South Korea’s health‑care system costs far less per person than the United States, and this is one of the most consistent findings in international health‑economics research.

False socialized health care costs more and the quality is poor. Wait times are in months even years.

"False socialized health care" and "poor" are merely your uninformed and ignorant words.

They are meaningless.

And?? I am glad I am here.

You told us what is happening, but not the why.

Why the U.S. wait time is shorter than many countries​

Unlike Canada or the U.K., the U.S. does not have a national queue.

I like the shorter wait time. What can countries with national health care do to speed up the process?

You must mean "SPLC" (Southern Poverty Law Center". Right?

AFLDS is batshit crazy.

Lets take the NHS in the UK as an example. Its boke, wait times in months and years for treatment there is no coverage fir mental health in children., DRs leaving in large numbers. Taxes are very high and it still doesnt have enough money.
Im am very informed Im in the UK often and I trained therapists there. Canada is the same long wait times for treatment. People die waiting.
While total collapse of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has not occurred, it is in a prolonged period of severe strain. The system is fundamentally grappling with a deep crisis driven by chronic underfunding, a severe maintenance backlog, staffing shortages, and a crumbling social care system.

The reality of the current crisis across the UK healthcare network includes:

• Wait Times & Access: Record numbers of patients are waiting for care. Millions face multi-week delays for GP appointments, and historically high wait times for emergency (A&E) admissions and routine operations.
  British Medical Association +1
• Crumbling Infrastructure: Independent reviews, such as those led by Lord Darzi, highlight that NHS facilities are suffering from a multi-billion-pound maintenance backlog. Many hospitals are dealing with aging or failing facilities.
  The BMJ
• Staffing Shortages: Despite recent efforts to boost recruitment, staff burnout, inadequate pay, and heavy workloads remain chronic issues, driving many experienced healthcare professionals to leave the service.
  YouTube·Doctor Khalid +1
• The "Bed Blocking" Effect: The social care sector is also in crisis, which directly impacts the NHS. Many hospital beds are occupied by medically fit patients who cannot be safely discharged due to a lack of available community or social care.

• Covid-19 Inquiry: The official UK Covid-19 inquiry concluded that the NHS entered the pandemic in a severely "parlous state". It teetered on the brink of collapse and "only coped" during the pandemic due to the extraordinary efforts of healthcare workers.

For comprehensive, official data on NHS performance and waiting times, you can refer to the NHS England Statistics or access the full Care Quality Commission (CQC) reports, which independently monitor and inspect health and social care services across the country.

Raise taxes that are already too high.

The reasons for long waits for doctors' appointments

Making an appointment for a specialist consultation is becoming increasingly complicated.

octors are sounding the alarm. Across France patients are unable to get appointments and wait times in hospital emergency departments have been known to stretch to more than two days. In Nantes, such was the backlog that four people died in emergency rooms over just a three-week period while waiting to be admitted.

This is a system stretched far beyond capacity. France’s hospitals are buckling, not because of a pandemic or a natural disaster, but some say because the country offers free, lifelong medical care, and often residency, to anyone from abroad with a serious illness.

I want to know what they are spending it on? "Healthcare" covers a wide area. Does this include developing new drugs, etc.?
