We have health insurance may only be owned by people capable of and workers at some companies. As for people who can not only limited to the health of social assistance only Itupun not cover all layers of society.

For people who do not have income or disadvantaged will not be there that can guarantee their health.

“It takes an insurance system that can include all levels of society, both high-income or who have no income at all, so the concept is mandatory for all residents or the community,” said Prof. Thabrany Hasbullah, MPH, DrPH in the national discussion Peel the renovation of National Health Insurance in the National Social Security System (Navigation) in the FKM UI, Depok, Saturday (16/1/2010).

As for people who can not afford or do not have income, dues will be paid by the government through social assistance funds to provide direct contributions to a competent authority.

There are five programs of the most fundamental guarantees in this Forecast namely, health insurance (JK), work accident insurance (JKK), old age insurance (JHT), pension (JP) and life insurance (JKM).

“Navigation is picked up fees of its obligatory force so that in practice must be regulated by a law. If the law is clear, it can not be arbitrary persons or entities that can collect fees to avoid any confusion,” said Prof. Hasbullah.

Implementation of this will involve Forecast 4 BPJS (Organized by the Social Security Agency) which consists of PT Jamsostek, PT Askes, PT Taspen and PT. Asabri. But the fourth agency headed by DJSN (National Social Security Council) composed of representatives of workers, employers representatives, government representatives and community representatives of each expert in their fields so as to provide general policies.

Forecast for conducting such, required legislation would have to wait it out so BPJS legalization bill. This is the task of the 9 members of the House committee urged the government to immediately ratify the Bill to BPJS.

“We will urge the government through times of trial 2 with 1 additional trial time period, so not until a year we’ll know whether this bill will be ratified or not at all. In addition, the government’s duty is to immediately conduct the population census to be known by sure how many people in Indonesia, “said commission member House of Representatives 9 Rieke Dyah Pitaloka.
