I鈥檝e had quite a few opportunities to work with and meet foreigners living in Korea, and I鈥檝e always been curious about how they take care of their health, but I never had the chance to ask. When foreigners in Korea have dental or other health issues, how do they usually handle them? For example, dental treatment can be quite expensive. How do you manage those costs? Korea does have a national health insurance system that most foreigners legally in Korea are required to join, and while it鈥檚 fairly good, it doesn鈥檛 cover everything...
