Happy new year all.. and this is my first post i wrote
on this year. Hehehe..
Actually, im so happy when i read on kompas.com about
public health insurance (http://health.kompas.com/read/2013/01/25/07434441/Perokok.Tidak.Ditanggung) and i’m absolutely agree with our health ministry
Nafsiah Mboi, who have plan to not cover patient who sick caused by smoking.

Some people said that our ministry have not ethics, but if we see from law perspective (by UU BPJS
24/2011) there is no discrimination on giving health care, its mean, people either the person smoke or
not, they can receive health care, this is should
differentiate between public insurance and private. On implementation, i’m totally understand that smoke can overburden our public
health insurance, that’s why we must focus on preventive, which i know (on theory) it’s cheaper than we must to treat.
This is about policy to raise awareness not to sour smokers or people who are
not. Related to policy to raise awarness to stop or not smoking (smoking
cesseation effort), i think that health care for smoker, must be followed by conditional,
they must take “stop smoking” program.
But it’s just my
opinion. How about yours?
