Description
Hyunjong Song argues that Korea's long-term care insurance must be rebuilt around the end of life. The system, launched in 2008, eased the load on families caring for older adults as the country aged fast. It has grown since, yet it still serves people poorly in their final phase, when nursing and medical needs peak. His 2024 paper lays out a phased reform.
One step adds end-of-life care as a home-based benefit inside the existing scheme. A second funds the services through a small added fee, which could extend them to nursing homes. A third pushes quality improvement so the added care is dignified, not nominal. Health policy readers get a staged blueprint for closing a known gap.
