Rate of subscription of low-income households to private health insurances in South Korea from 2012 to 2022

In 2022, around **** percent of low-income households in South Korea held subscriptions to private health insurances. While the government's public health insurance program National Health Insurance covers the basics, it is common to pay for additional private health insurance to receive more comprehensive coverage. While low-income households have a lower subscription rate than the national average rate of private health insurance subscriptions, this had previously been increasing over time.
