Abstract

Indonesia's national health insurance program requires participants to contribute every month. After paying, participants have the right to obtain a single identity and benefit from health services. The service of the Health of Social Insurance Administration Organization still has some problems that are experienced by Health BPJS participants. The problem were rejected by the hospital, the claim value of BPJS was lower than the real value of health care costs, limited medicines and also the JKN system which was still limited in benefits. The concept and implementation of JKN itself is an effort to move the burden of JKN financing which is the state's obligation to citizens with sanctions. JKN actually becomes an additional burden for citizens and the state should take the largest portion of JKN financing. The Indonesian JKN system itself is a pseudo social security.
