        "summary": "Indonesia's Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin has highlighted significant anomalies in the BPJS Kesehatan health insurance programme, revealing that 47,210 wealthy individuals are incorrectly registered as Penerima Bantuan Iuran (PBI) beneficiaries meant for the poorest 50 per cent. Further data shows 35 million non-wage workers and 11 million class 3 PBPU participants are also inaccurately targeted. The government plans to integrate data to redirect benefits to deserving recipients in lower income deciles, ensuring more equitable distribution of resources.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin stated that there is an\nanomaly concerning the data of Penerima Bantuan Iuran (PBI) participants\nin the Jaminan Kesehatan (BPJS Kesehatan) programme. Based on data\nconsolidation results, there are 47,210 inaccurately targeted entries,\nincluding wealthy individuals still registered as PBI participants. \u201cWe\nfound an anomaly where the funds we pay are not entirely going to the\npoorest 50 per cent. Even some of the richest 10 per cent are receiving\npayments after we consolidated the data at BPS,\u201d Budi said during a\nmeeting in the Commission IX room at the parliamentary complex in\nJakarta on Wednesday (15\/4\/2026). \u201cIf I may joke a little, Mr Kunta, my\nSecretary General, was once in that category,\u201d he added. According to\nMinistry of Health data, there are still around 47,000 BPJS Kesehatan\nPBI entries that are not on target. Meanwhile, from the data on Non-Wage\nWorkers (PBPU) managed by Regional Governments (Pemda), there are 35\nmillion inaccurately targeted and 20 million accurately targeted.\nAdditionally, there are 11 million PBPU-BP Class 3 data that are not on\ntarget. \u201cWe identified 35 million that are less accurately targeted\nbased on BPS data. Then, for PBPU BP Class 3, there are also 11 million\nthat are less accurate,\u201d Budi explained. He assured that the government\nwill integrate data to redistribute PBI to those who are entitled to it.\n\u201cSo there are some of our friends in Decile 5 who haven\u2019t been able to\nenter PBI yet. It\u2019s better if we reduce those in Decile 10, the richest\n10 per cent, remove them, and redirect their quota to Decile 5,\u201d Budi\nstated. \u201cBecause we still see a fairly large number, tens of millions\nout of the 159 million data, that are not yet on target,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
