Description: "In 2004, the Indonesian govenrment committed to provide health insurance coverage to its entire population through a mandatory health insurance program. As of 2008, its public budget provided coverage for 76.4 million poor and near poor, but more than half of the population still lacked health insurance. The authors of "Health financing in Indonesia" develop a baseline of current health policies, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in light of current epidemiological and socioeconomic trends, and provide a comprehensive framework for reform in the key financing functions involved in providing universal coverage: revenue collection, risk pooling, and purchasing. The book also provides an analytical framework based on global good practices, as well as rudimentary cost options for the transition to universal coverage." -- Back Cover.
