15 Analysis into policy environments Factors for policy diffusion and policy divergence (policy diffusion) Majority of the bureaucrats who joined the government service prior to 1980s were used to referring to laws and institutions introduced in the Japanese language. (policy divergence) Differences in a) tradition of local autonomy, b) political leadership, c) length of time of health insurance systems Economic crisis Financial crisis that hit Korea at the end of 1997 Economic depression in Japan since the 1990s down to the present time Democratization and social welfare (Korea) Integration was considered as an expansion of social welfare. Shifts in political environment, including the democratization and the advent of major bottom-up social forces in favor of the reform, opened a window of opportunity for the reform. (Japan) Though parliamentary democracy was firmly established in Japan, the perception that social welfare was granted preferentially by bureaucratic elites was deeply entrenched with political monopoly being held by the Liberal Democratic Party (LPD) for a long time. It has been difficult to turn around deep-rooted fundamentals of health insurance system shaped by such elite bureaucrats.
16 Observations First, neither the corporative approach (multiple-insurer system) nor the integrative approach (single-payer system) alone turns out right at all times. In the early days when health insurance was introduced in both Japan and Korea it was not administratively plausible to implement the expansion of the program in an integrative approach. But with the framework of health insurance falling into place and the data processing infrastructure being built, environments have already been changed. A larger insurer is now capable of managing a largescaled population. Second, the approach of uniformly allotting insurance contributions to the employed and self-employers is not a necessary condition in putting the two groups under one insurer. For integration, it is possible to merge financial and administrative controls without unifying contribution methods. Currently in Korea, professional expertise for strategic purchases of health care is rapidly gathering momentum under the single-payer system enrolling the entire nation.

18 Lessons learned In the case of Japan, there are good reasons for operating health insurance organizations region by region, but it seems that fragmented insurers numbering almost 3,600 needs to be reorganized into fewer but larger organizations. In the case of developing countries, while starting with a single-payer system would best serve them that are seeking universal coverage, launching such a system all at once would certainly cause big challenges. Universal coverage is often achieved through a variety of schemes. From a strategic perspective, it would be a possible alternative to make it an official goal from the outset to ultimately switch over to a single-payer system while starting insurance with the feasible groups. This is what the trial and error Korea had experienced for over 20 years in an ideological war of attrition has to teach.
