Currently, there are still many complaints in the BPJS service system, such as late payments for hospitals and salaries for medical personnel.

BPJS uses a monthly fee funding system, the amount of payment are depends on the types of class that BPJS participants has taken. Whereas the NHS only uses a tax-based funding system, where the use of this system can effectively meet all health service needs maximally.
