How do people get medical insurance coverage? I am using F4 visa. I heard there is a way to get Korean national insurance coverage if I pay but since I am not working here I do not know how to pay into the system. Help!

F4 = you are a kyopo? You should be able to get it covered under a family member like your uncle or something. He just needs to include you.

Go to your local health centre (���Ǽ�) and ask them.

If you have a F-2, it means that you have married a Korean person?! Wouldn't you be covered by this person anyway?

I just asked my husband and he said the same as I did. You are married to a Korean person, you are covered automatically...

My husband also just told me that you should go to your local *gu* and find a bohormgongdan - ������� (sp.?) - pay and you will be covered immediately.
