Election controversy around the reimbursement of hair loss by health insurance

If you find the presidential campaign a little too populist and low ceiling in France, this is something to put into perspective. A candidate for the presidency of South Korea, Lee Jae-myung, is accused of demagoguery by the opposition following a rather special bill: the reimbursement by the country’s health insurance for treatment once morest the Hair loss.

The current ruling Democratic Party candidate defends his proposal, explaining that nearly ten million South Koreans suffer from hair loss, regarding a fifth of the population, reports The Guardian. “I will present a perfect policy on the treatment of hair loss,” defended Lee Jae-myung on Facebook.

The opposition is tearing its hair out

Still according to him because of the prices of extremely expensive treatments, the South Koreans suffering from this disease fall back on treatments abroad or products for other ailments, in particular for the prostate. What further justify his proposal, which has received many messages of support on Facebook.

This is still not to the taste of the opposition, which accuses the candidate of offering easy votes with an unrealistic proposal.
