Abstract:
Health is a basic need of society. Both low and upper-middle class people are required to meet their health needs. However, many people still are not able to access the health services available. Therefore, the Indonesian Government has launched a compulsive health insurance programme named JKN (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional). This programme aims to improve the access of the whole community to the available health services, but there are many people who still have not yet registered as participants. The purpose of this study is to see what factors are preventing people from becoming JKN participants through previous study literatures from textbooks, program evaluations, and previous research studies. The results show that there are several inhibiting factors for the community members to register themselves as JKN participants, including internal factors such as education level, occupation, amount of income, residence, and external factors such as the administrative process, easiness of
access to the health services, workforce situation, the influence of others, and so on.
