Medical insurance in Korea is subsidized by the government and costs much less than medical insurance in North America.
Typically, the costs of the policies are shared 50/50 between you and your employer, and your share, only 2 to 3% of your monthly income, will be deducted from your salary. And the same amount is matched by school.
Doctor visits in Korea are extremely reasonable by North American standards. You can expect to pay about $3-5 (U.S. dollars) per doctor visit.
