» » Critical Notes Lawsuit Over Social Security Act and the Bill BPJS


By Indonesian Migrant Workers Union (SBMI)
Subsidies are conveyed by the neoliberal regime, the poor and people are not able to be paid by the government is very unclear.
The poverty line issued by the government of SBY is very far from the reality of the existing conditions. Poverty standard set by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) is an individual      whose expenditure of Rp 7,000, - per day.

Of course this will lead to poverty in Indonesia has dropped drastically and bring wealth. Because the people who earn Rp 217,000 per month will no longer fall into the poor category. Though a lot of people of Indonesia, despite having earned more than Rp 7,000, - per day, but was unable to meet the basic needs decent.

But clearly, the drop off of poverty in Indonesia, the subsidy prepared by the Indonesian government for the poor will be less. Then what is the problem with the Social Security Act and the bill already approved BPJS this August? Just like other neoliberal agenda that minimizes the role and responsibility of the state to meet its obligations, the Social Security Act also contained a similar clause. All the affairs of the community, particularly the needs of social and economic development will be left to the market mechanism.

Although the name is the National Social Security System, but it is interesting compulsory dues every month from people indiscriminately, rich and poor alike. In chapter 5 of article 17, paragraph 1, 2 and 3 Social Security Act is very clear infiltration interests of the investors to benefit from the social security system in Indonesia. Verse 1: Every pesertawajib pay dues in the amount determined by a percentage of salary or a certain nominal amount. Verse 2: Every employer shall collect dues from workers, adding that it was his duty dues and fees paid to the Social Security Agency on a regular basis. Article 3: The amount of dues as article (1) and subsection (2) are set for each type of program on a regular basis in accordance with the social, economic and basic needs of living. Of Article 17, paragraph 1, 2, and 3 is explained, that the imposition of the people to participate in social insurance that was built by the neoliberal regime. It is even confirmed in article 1, paragraph 3 which states: "Social insurance is a mechanism of mandatory fundraiser, which comes from fees for providing protection against social and economic risks that befall participants and / or their family members."

Meanwhile, BPJS have independence in the management of these funds. Under the bill BPJS section 8 (b) stated: BPJS authorities to "put the social security fund for short-term investments and long-term by considering the liquidity, solvency, prudential, security of funds and adequate results." Thus BPJS right to manage and develop these funds in various investment activities considered beneficial, such as stocks, bonds, and bank deposits. Funds collected by force of 250 million people of Indonesia are later deposited into BPJS, and authorized the handful of people who joined the Trustees, who are very independent and there should be no government interference. The money raised will be used for business interests of certain groups, including foreign companies, which is very difficult to be accounted for. Though these funds are collected from all the people. Moreover, if the four SOEs (Asabri, Taspen, Social Security and Askes) combined, the funds will be collected about 190 trillion rupiah. Under certain conditions, these funds can be utilized for the neoliberal regime posted bailout of the financial sector in the event of a crisis. In 2008, for example,

The Indonesian government had ordered several state companies to buy back shares in the stock market to help lift the sagging value of JCI sharply due to a massive withdrawal of capital by foreign capitalists. Thus, the benefit from the enactment of the Bill are the owners of capital and the countries that finance the budget relies on the financial sector. This is why one of the owners of capital and foreign agents neoliberal institutions, such as ADB, eager to pass this bill into law. Community Health Insurance (Assurance), the opponents of the bill BPJS solution and also the fact Social Security Act will not solve the problem. Practice giving Jamkesmas to the poor in need, turned out to complicate the poor to access it. Budget funds in 2011 alone only Rp 5.6 trillion, if coupled with Jampersal (Labor Warranty) then it will amount to Rp 6.3 trillion alone. This means that the poor will be very much that can not be covered by the budget Jamkesmas. Not to mention the number of hospitals that refuse or even go bankrupt, because the funds Jamkesda (Regional Public Health Insurance) to hospitals in the area not being paid by the central government. Jamkesmas budget limitations to this eventually led to a lot of poor people who had refused to participate in the program Jamkesda, so they are listed as regular public patients in hospitals. The right to health care is a basic right for all the people of Indonesia.

The fulfillment of the basic rights of the people of Indonesia clearly the responsibility of the state. Therefore, the state should be more concerned with the people's interests than the interests of the few. Countries should be able to provide free health care to all people, just by showing your ID (Identity Card) or household (family card) for the people who need health services. Already several regions in Indonesia, such as Solo and Aceh, implement it and be able to provide free health services only to show their ID cards or household. To finance free health care for all the people of Indonesia, in fact the state can ensure that tax payments made by corporations (companies), even progressive tax increases for corporations.

In 2010 alone, the potential loss of state revenue of Rp 80 trillion. Details, DG Taxation Rp 54 trillion, the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of Rp 16 trillion and gas receivables amounting to Rp 4.2 trillion. This does not include the BPK findings receivables 35 oil and gas companies do not want to pay taxes amounting to Rp 5.2 trillion. Pengemplang taxes by the owners of capital even as if left for a long time by the neoliberal regime. This suggests that the neoliberal regime does want to give "comfort" to the owners of capital, while on the other hand destroy people's lives. In addition, under the pretext of budget constraints, perform neoliberal regime spending cuts health functions from Rp 19.8 trillion in the 2010 budget to Rp 13.6 trillion in the 2011 budget. But on the other hand, the neoliberal regime does dissipate with the budget it has. For the 2011 budget amount Jamkesmas, only Rp 5.6 trillion, while "plesiran fund" the government of Rp 24.5 trillion. In 2010, state officials from the president, 13 ministries or agencies, to the House of Representatives spent Rp 19.5 trillion for comparative studies abroad, four times more than the budget Jamkesmas, which is only Rp 4.5 trillion.

 Omission committed by the regime against the neoliberal pengemplangan taxes, which pelakuknya are the owners of capital, as well as the lavish lifestyle of the neoliberal regime shows that the neoliberal regime was not at all thinking about the fate of the people of Indonesia. Even the National Social Security System (Navigation), which should be devoted to ensure the social protection was eventually manipulated by the neo-liberal regime to meet the interests of the owners of capital. The action has been for many years is, of course, will continue to be repeated, as long as no alternative political adakekuatan popular movement elements. They will be summarily his authority to make policies just for their own interests. This means that the needs of the political power of all elements of alternative folk movement becomes very important to determine the path chosen by the people's welfare.
