In this paper, The Supreme Court of Korea 2016. 1. 28. 2015Da9769 was reviewed. In the previous case, Korean Supreme Court 2009Da17417 for the element to requirement for permission of the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments, the patient's consent for withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments was assumed a declaration of intention to terminate the contract. But the consent for withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments corresponds not to those. The consent for medical treatments is not the juristic acts but the real acts. If the presumptive intention about these withdrawal regards as the termination of medical contract, the contract must be up to the starting the civil proceedings. According to this case, although the partial cancellation of medical contract is admitted, on the other hand medical expenses obligation ist exempted only after the final decision. At the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments the medical obligation ist exempted because of the inability to providing the medical payment, which confirmed by the final decision about the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments. Therefore the judgement of this case ist appropriate in that sense, the medical obligation ist waived only after the final decision. However that legal basis lies not at the partial cancel but at the partial inability.

This study was conducted to provide basic data to evaluate the appropriateness of convalescent hospitalization treatment by investigating the number of hospitalization days and the total treatment expenses of a total of 44,037 monthly billing statements requested from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Evaluated data consisted of medical care expenses of patients of the diem payment system hospitalized at convalescent hospitals in Daejeon, Chungnam, Chungbuk and Sejong from January through December of 2014. According to the analysis result of the general characteristics of the study objects and the canonical correlation analysis of the top 15 main diagnosis names, 7 canonical functions have been deducted. Among them, six canonical functions were shown to be statistically significant (p<0.001), and canonical function 1 had a chi-squared value of 5955.49 and 98 degrees of freedom at p<0.001 level. Overall, the results indicated that if health and welfare service in the regional society is magnified, social hospitalization can be reduced.

Although National Health Insurance(NHI) in the South Korea has guaranteed access to health insurance coverage to virtually all the people, a significant portion of out-of-pocket spending can create substantial financial burdens for some beneficiaries, particularly those with low incomes. Previous studies have estimated the magnitude of out-of-pocket spending by types of chronic illness or in- and out-patients. Prior estimates, however, have not given a complete picture of the impact of health care costs on lower-income populations. The result from this study shows that 20 percent of beneficiaries in the lowest-income quintile spent more than twelve percent of their household equivalent income out-of-pocket health services, whether they were enrolled in a Health care services or not. In comparison, the beneficiaries in the highest-income quintile level spent only 2 percent of their income out-of-pocket on health care. Also, the regression analysis suggests that age, household income, number of chronic illness, type of hospital in addition to the number of usage may affect the size of out-of-pocket spending.

잇몸병(치주질환)은 한국인이 가장 많이 앓는 질환 중 하나이다. 건강보험심사평가원의 진료비 통계지표(2009년 기준)에 따르면 치주질환진료가 감기 등의 호흡기 질환 다음으로 많다고 한다. 문제는 많은 사람들이 잇몸병에 시달리고 있지만 그 심각성을 크게 인식하지 못하고 있다는 점이다. 잇몸병이 합병증을 유발하는 질병의 뿌리인데도 말이다.

정부는 고액의 치료비가 소요되는 희귀난치성 질환에 대해 본인일부부담금 산정특례로 지정하여 치료비의 $20\%$만 본인이 부담하는 특례를 주고 있다. 지난해까지 12개 질환에 대해서만 산정특례로 인정되던 것이 올해 1월부터는 에이즈를 포함하여 62개 질환으로 대폭 확대되어 많은 환자들의 경제적 부담을 덜게 되었다.

우리나라 의료보험이 실시된지 20년이 되었지만 그동안 개선이나 보안이 안돼 국민과 의료기관의 불평과 불만이 쌓여 뿌리를 내리지 못하고 있다. 양질의 의료서비스로 의료보험을 개선하기 위해선 1)합리적 의료보험수가 조정 2)수가의 현실화 3)진료비 심사기구 독립 4)사회보험성의 의보제 도입 등이 절실하다.
