JAKARTA - Efforts to maintain health are not an easy thing. Expensive medical expenses are often an obstacle. The cases of residents who are refused to enter the hospital because they do not have a lot of money. The President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) is concerned.
He wants all Indonesian people to be able to access health facilities at affordable costs. He also announced the presence of the Health Social Security Administration (BPJS). The study so that there are no more stories of the poor people being refused treatment at the hospital.
For small people, seeking treatment at the hospital is considered more frightening than a disease itself. The image of seeking treatment at an expensive hospital is a cause. Assets can be drained out. This condition is exacerbated by the emergence of the occurrence of the poor who were rejected by private hospitals because of the absence of funds.
The rejection that occurred while repopulating the narrative: the poor are prohibited from getting sick. The narrative really disturbs conscience. President SBY was concerned. His dream is that all Indonesians can seek treatment in an affordable manner, starting to be seriously discussed.
SBY started the action with the desire to advance the Indonesian health system. He plans to merge social security institutions in Indonesia, such as PT Askes, into an institution that can provide broad health benefits.
This effort gave birth to Law No. 40 of 2004 concerning Social Security. Then, followed by Law no. 24 of 2011. The pinnacle of being loved by scholars arrived. BPJS Health was also present in early 2014. The presence of BPJS is a milestone in the development of the welfare of the Indonesian people.
SBY wants that there will be no more stories of the poor being rejected by the hospital. Anyone who needs treatment will certainly be able to access hospitals in an affordable manner. In fact, for those who do not have it, it can be free.
BPJS Kesehatan pun berbeda dengan model asuransi lainnya. BPJS sebagai lembaga negara yang dianggap SBY sebagai bentuk penjadikan sebenarnya dari rakyat, oleh rakyat, untuk rakyat. Seluruh rakyat Indonesia membayar iuran, babak bertutan untuk pemulihan dirinya dan rakyat Indonesia lainnya. Sedangkan rakyat miskin diteri pemerintah.
This kindness makes BPJS a mainstay of the Indonesian people who are less prosperous. The government is also preparing to allocate large funds to finance the poor in Indonesia as BPJS Kesehatan participants.
On December 31, 2013, President SBY officially launched BPJS for health and employment as well as the National Health Insurance (JKN) program at the Bogor Palace. In his remarks, the President said that BPJS which took effect on January 1, 2014.
Hal itu merupakan langkah penting bagi pemerintah untuk memberikan layanan kesehatan yang lebih layak dan lebih baik, terutama untuk masyarakat lantas bawah. SBY menerangkan: melalui BPJS Kesehatan dan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan ini, saya tidak ingin mendengar ada para pekerja yang tidak terlindungi. Saya juga tidak mau mendengar adanya laporan bahwa rakyat kurang mampu ditolak oleh rumah sakit dan tidak bisa merawat karek karena alasan biaya, ungkap Yudi latetif dalam buku Mata Air Ketadanan: Pancasila dalam Kerakuan(2014).
Usually the change of leadership is sometimes continued with a policy change narrative. However, specifically for the BPJS Health program, it will continue. The program is considered important by Joko Widodo (Jokowi) who replaces SBY as the number one person in Indonesia.
Jokowi is of the view that the BPJS Kesehatan program has many benefits, especially for the poor. He is also committed to developing BPJS Kesehatan. Jokowi echoed the transformation effort so that BPJS Kesehatan is more appropriate.
All kinds of BPJS Health problems are tried to be overcome and developed. Jokowi began to increase cooperation to many private hospitals. This step was taken to ensure that all elements of society can reach maximum health services with grades I, II, and III contributions.
The poor also have a grip on when sick. He did not want the poor to be subject to additional costs. As a form of seriousness, all levels of government are asked to register with BPJS Kesehatan.
Jokowi also asked the Minister of SOEs, Rini Soemarno, to register all BUMN employees as members of BPJS Kesehatan. Rini then forced SOE bosses to register their employees 100 percent, without exception.
A tactic so that other Indonesian people participate in registering BPJS Kesehatan. Gradually BPJS Kesehatan participants increased and brought great benefits to all Indonesian people.

"One of the reviews of the performance of SOE directors is, if 100 percent of its employees are registered as members of BPJS Health. 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.."
"Well, I want to know who the company has not registered with. 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 an obligation and not optional," concluded Rini as quoted by the CNN Indonesia page, March 22, 2017.
