				| Hi Everyone, 
 I was just curious, as I was thinking about a surgery I got about three years ago.
 
 It was an emergency surgery.  Yes, I did have Korean health insurance at the time.  I swiped my card and the bill was something like $2000.  I ended up getting $1000 back when I was reimbursed.
 
 Is that how things are supposed to work?
 
 (I.e. I pay some money, but certainly not the full cost, of emergency surgeries).  Or, was I entitled to more by my employer if I filed a claim.
