ABSTRACT
In Korea, two authors of this chapter ( J.O. and S.K., both former Takemi Fellows) have been involved in the efforts to improve health insurance governance by implementing public participation interventions based on the A4R framework. Professor Norman Daniels of the Harvard School of Public Health supported this initiative because of his expertise in this field. Three experiments were conducted to determine feasible policy options for decision making regarding benefits coverage and willingness to pay for increased insurance contribution. The experiments were conducted in 2008, 2010, and 2012. The experiments consisted of two components: information provision and sufficient deliberation. During the intervention, participants were first provided full and updated information by a team of experts (information provision component); participants then discussed the issues with one another for a moderate amount of time (deliberation component).
