Koreans Have Three Times the Amount of Medical Visits than the OECD Average

Considering how cheap health care is in South Korea it is not surprising that Koreans are going to the doctor more on average than other countries:

South Koreans on average visit local medical clinics 18 times a year, far exceeding those in other similar countries, a recent report showed.

The report on South Koreans’ health care usage found that the average number of annual outpatient visits per capita reached 18 in 2023. This figure is almost three times the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development average of 6.4 in 2022.

Women have an average of 21.9 outpatient care visits a year?!?
That number seems incredibly high, especially for a population with such a long life expectancy. I’d say over on this side of the pond, life expectancy is inversely related to the number of doctor visits per year.

Korean doctors schedule at least one follow-up for even small problems.

This ups the income per incident.

Korean also go to the hospital for a cold.

Is the average for all Koreans 18 times per year?

Skeptical.

What are you skeptical about, maggot?

Korea life expectancy = 83 years

America’s life expectancy = 77 years.

The gap grows even more significant if you just compare the men in both countries.

And expect your country’s life expectancy to decrease further, after the complete gutting of your Medicaid and Medicare.

LOL, I just saw the news that the US will soon run out of toilet paper (lol), as they slap imported Canadian wood pulp used in 50% of all US-made toilet paper production with 25% tariffs. Let’s turn the US back to the year 1879. There will soon be all these maggots hoarding supplies and fighting over toilet paper, as we saw during the Pandemic. Americans can just use dried corn husks to wipe their cracks, just like the North Koreans. This is what Juche looks like.

America will be out of toilet paper by the end of the month.

Coincidently, Russia will be out of missiles next week.

Fortunately, as a Russian asset, Trump should be able to work a deal with Putin to exchange America’s missile surplus for processed Siberian wood pulp.

Even after factoring in the tariff, missiles are such value-added products, the end consumer will hardly see a price increase.

Further, America is a leader in corn, and therefore corncob, production.

Tariffs are already working to encourage buying American!
