BPJS Health has successfully covered millions of participants across Indonesia, bringing the hope of affordable and quality health care for the people. However, this success is not apart from the serious debate on issues of justice in the BPJS allowance system, which is the main highlight and the main challenge facing BPJS health. Justice in the BPJS has become an increasingly relevant issue amidst the high economic and social diversity in Indonesia.
