The government will not be allowed to seize the savings of people who have failed to pay their national health insurance, starting later this year, the health ministry said Saturday.
Under a revision to relevant rules, assets that can be taken over will not include savings of less than 1.5 million won ($1,350). The amount is deemed the minimum necessary to maintain a person's livelihood, the Ministry of Health and Welfare said.
