- This is a serial column comparing the medical cost burden on elderly people in Korea and China through receipts from both countries and health insurance figures.
- Korea's health insurance coverage rate was 64.9% in 2024, and 69.8% for those aged 65 and over, while the out-of-pocket share at large Chinese hospitals is 30-50%, the author reported.
- The author argues that an attitude of learning from each other and an atmosphere in which elders can speak of their pain matter more than which system is superior, and introduces Chapter 12 of the author's book.
