My employer's adding a lot of strings to my health insurance, like pension, "Worker's Insurance" and some other bollocks adding up to $300 out of each paypacket.

It's all a dastardly scheme to dissuade teachers from signing on for health insurance, so they don't have to make their contributions. Even when teachers do, all the extra money you're paying means they don't put in a cent.

All I want is health insurance (and only health insurance) and I'm looking for a way to either force them to make their contributions, or a way to sign on to the Korean health insurance plan as an individual.

Has anyone organised their insurance seperate from their employer? I've always been happy with the Korean health insurance, and all the international insurers seem to exorbitant.
