AB - This study investigates expansion of the private health insurance(PHI) and its implications in Korea. The objective of this study is to examine the characteristics of PHI under developmental state and its changes in Korea and why the PHI is not relevant to supplementary role of the public health insurance, i.e., National Health Insurance(NHI). The developmental state with strong authority had lead economic growth resulted in the structural weakness of the NHI with low contribution-low coverage, which has been a good reason for expanding role of the PHI and it also supported growth of private insurance. The transition to deregulated market oriented system after the developmental state resulted in development by conglomerates rather than government and contributed to expand PHI rapidly. Although policy agenda on the PHI has been focused on supplementary role of the NHI, experiences in Korea do not support it. Thus, it should be cautious to expect usual supplementary role of the PHI in Korea.
