SOE Minister Rini Soemarno Forces His Staff To Participate In BPJS Health In Today's Memory, March 22, 2017

JAKARTA Memories today, seven years ago, March 22, 2017, the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), Rini Soemarno forced all SOE bosses to register all their employees as BPJS Health participants. He said the request was not an appeal, but an obligation.

Previously, Jokowi's government wanted to maximize the function of BPJS Kesehatan for the wider community. BPJS Kesehatan's various weaknesses were immediately addressed. Even doubts about the community are being suppressed.

The desire of the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) government to increase the lives of the Indonesian people is second to none. One of these wishes was packaged with the presence of the Health Social Security Administration (BPJS) in 2014.

The presence of BPJS Kesehatan as health insurance organized by the state is considered effective. BPJS can be the answer among the many families who need affordable medicine. All because the mutual cooperation health insurance is able to finance health independently.

Those who are poor are financed by the state. While those health workers who work will be given intensively. The BPJS program continued when Jokowi became the number one person in Indonesia. The Indonesian president wants to continue BPJS Kesheat so that the Indonesian people continue to use it.

This desire is so that the Indonesian people who are assisted by BPJS Kesehatan will increase sharply. This commitment was realized by Jokowi by trying to transform BPJS Kesehatan so that it is appropriate. BPJS tries to overcome all kinds of problems.

Cooperation with many private hospitals continues to be improved. This commitment is made so that all people, especially the lower class, can get affordable and maximum health services.

The goal is that the narrative regarding the poor is prohibited from falling ill from standing back. Because, they already have a handle. BPJS Health, his name. He hopes that BPJS can bear the entire medical costs of patients without exception.

"I myself see that in the field there are many problems that the public complains about, especially payments in hospitals, for example Rp. 14 million, only Rp. 4 million. The rest must be paid for themselves, and other things.."

I heard about six months ago, there was a problem there and also its solvency. Therefore, I want to understand what kind of solvency problem?, then what kind of solvelability problem?, and what is the cause like?' Jokowi explained as quoted on the Cabinet Secretariat website, February 27, 2016.

Jokowi's commitment to developing BPJS Kesehatan was welcomed by his staff. The Minister of SOEs, Rini Soemarno also has the same desire. He considers BPJS a good mutual cooperation step to ensure the health of the Indonesian people.

He also forced all SOE bosses to immediately register all of their subordinates as BPJS Health participants on March 22, 2017. He wants all existing SOEs to reach 100 percent registered with BPJS Kesehatan.

Anyone who does not heed his orders will have an effect on performance assessments. Rini also admitted that she was sad when she found out that there were SOEs who had not registered their employees at all.

"One of the reviews of the performance of BUMN's directors is, if 100 percent of its employees are registered as members of BPJS Kesehatan. From month to month I will continue to check. But there is one state-owned company that has not yet distributed its employees to BPJS at all.

"Well, I want to know who the company has not registered. Because this is part of mutual cooperation. We will immediately compete. In the past, it was allowed. But later the direction of BPJS will be mandatory and not optional," concluded Rini as quoted by the CNN Indonesia page, March 22, 2017.
