Should Government give Free healthcare or Should Citizen pay for private insurance

There is 264 million people in Indonesia , it spread all over the Indonesia from Sabang till Marauke . Free healthcare is one of the way to solve people problem from getting disease, plague, and virus. But with 264  million people in Indonesia I don’t think we have enough resources to do that , and in this essay I will talk about why government can’t Fund free health and it better to people having private insurance.

For the first paragraph we will talk in Economic Side , is it possible for Government to do free healthcare?. Based on the data , in 2018 Indonesia have Rp. 10.843 trillion based on BPS (Badan Pusat Statistik) and the average price for the health insurance is Rp.100.000/people/ month so the government should pay a lot of money and it only for a month, and it only for healthcare . With that money we can allocate that to other like Build better infrastructure.

For the second paragraph I will talk about the procedure if Government giving free health insurance. As we know Indonesia have a health insurance called BPJS that can give free treatment for people. But the procedure for claim that insurance is really complicated. First you should go to the Puskesmas, and if the Puskesmas can’t treat the the illness you must request for referral letter to the hospital , and because a lot of people using BPJS you must wait until your turn. And with that complicated procedure for claiming BPJS I will suggest people to use private Insurance

For the third paragraph I will tell about How a health insurance can used for corruption. Because a lot of people that want to use free health insurance which is BPJS  , so the government should spend a lot of money to giving health insurance , and with that a lot of money , it can giving opportunity for corruption. And it happen in 2018 Head of Health Department arrested because of Corruption  BPJS Funds for Puskesmas that harm the country for billion rupiah , imagine with that money we can improve our country from Infrastructure or Education.

For the fourth paragraph I will give my counter argument, in the Indonesian Constitution allign 4 it said People should Treat and Protect their people , it means government should protect and treat their people and it also include their health. So Free Healthcare is one of the way government can do for treating their people.

Indonesia is a rich country that have a lot of resources , with that 264 million of people it government duty to give healthcare to their people , because people has pay the taxes and government duty is to manage their taxes for their people. Of course government have a lot of thing to do , and this country need to build an infrastructure , but it can’t be a reason for not giving the healthcare to the people. Of course I will more prefer people to have their own Private Insurance for the one who can paid , but government can give the Healthcare for the people who live in poverty by using the data that already collected by local government for giving the healthcare for the people who need it most.
