Based on data from the Indonesian Health Profile, 794 out of every 1,000 Indonesian citizens were covered by health insurance or a public health system in 2018. This ratio increased from the previous year, which only reached 716 per 1,000 people. Of the 261.89 million population, 208 million were covered by health insurance.

The presence of BPJS Kesehatan since early 2014 has increased the number of people covered by health insurance, as shown in the graph. The government provides subsidies for poor or underprivileged citizens. The Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional-Kartu Indonesia Sehat (JKN-KIS) program, launched in 2018, also increased the ratio of the population covered by health insurance.

However, the premium increase starting January 2020 will burden BPJS Kesehatan participants, especially informal sector workers. As is known, since the beginning of that year, the BPJS Kesehatan premium for class III increased to Rp 42,000 per month. Class II increased to Rp 110,000 per month, and class I increased to Rp 160,000 per month.
