I bought a great health insurance package from Canada before coming here, but my school is telling me that it is manditory to have their health insurance because it coincides with the pension plan.

Can anyone tell me if this is true and explain it in detail so I can show my manager.

Thanks for the help!

yes all e2s are supposed to be enrolled in it, its not that expensive and you can still use your canadian insurance to cover costs the korean plan doesnt

My school is 60 000 won per month.

Is there a way to opt of out this?

not if you want to be legal.

Is 60,000 per month really that much money that you can't afford it? Or are you willing the the risk of having to spend millions of won if you get into an accident?
