健康保険料 (kenkou hokenryou) is a Japanese term that translates to "health insurance premium" in English. It refers to the amount of money that individuals or employers pay to a health insurance provider to maintain health insurance coverage.

In Japan, health insurance is mandatory, and premiums are typically deducted from employees' salaries. Employers often share the cost of these premiums with their employees. The premiums help cover the costs of medical services, treatments, and medications, ensuring that insured individuals have access to necessary healthcare without incurring significant out-of-pocket expenses.

The calculation of 健康保険料 is usually based on the insured person's income, with higher earners paying more in premiums. The collected premiums fund the health insurance system, allowing for the distribution of healthcare benefits to policyholders.

保険金 (Hokenkin) refers to insurance money or benefits paid out by an insurance company to a policyholder or beneficiary. This payment is made under the terms of an insurance policy when a specified event, such as an accident, illness, death, or property damage, occurs. The purpose of hokenkin is to provide financial protection and support to individuals or businesses, helping them to recover from losses or unforeseen circumstances.

The amount and conditions of the insurance payout are determined by the policy agreement, which outlines the coverage details, premium payments, and claim procedures. Receiving hokenkin typically requires the policyholder to file a claim and provide necessary documentation to prove the occurrence and extent of the covered event. This concept is fundamental in risk management, offering peace of mind and financial stability by mitigating the impact of adverse events.

保証 (Hosho) refers to a guarantee or assurance provided to ensure that certain conditions or promises will be fulfilled. In Japanese legal and business contexts, hosho often involves a commitment by one party to take responsibility for the performance, quality, or obligations of another party.

There are various types of hosho, such as product warranties, service guarantees, and financial guarantees. For instance, a product warranty assures customers that a product will function as expected for a specified period, and if it doesn't, the manufacturer or seller will repair, replace, or refund it. In financial contexts, a guarantor may promise to pay back a loan if the original borrower fails to do so.
