He is right. In Japan there are 2 form of health insurance: from your company 社会保険 (shakai houken) or directly from the government 国民健康保険 (kokumin kenko houken). If you quit your job you loose your health insurance the very day you’re unemployed and must go to your prefecture to ask the national one (you’ll pay for it, around 200$-300$ a month).
Also in France your health insurance is also tied to your job. The french administration is a nightmare to me so I have no idea how to get anything if you’re unemployed.
You are right to share this, I was about to do so yesterday but I first wanted to watch it all. So far I have only watch the first half and it is very interesting.
It is rough to follow though, sometimes I am listening to stuff while working but for this video I will need to be in the right context and focus to correctly get it.
