[LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]‘No’ to 3d child subsidy

According to a recent report, lawmakers have drafted a new bill to provide a government subsidy for raising a third child.

I don’t welcome the bill because I am an infertile woman. I can’t bear baby even though I want to.

I have to pay several tens of thousands of won whenever I go to hospital for fertility treatment because health insurance doesn’t cover fertility treatments. Because of the financial burden, I was forced to give up trying to become pregnant.

There are other ways to spend that money.
