Meanwhile, the one that does not have a relationship is education (0.276).

Non-compliance Analysis of Independent Participants Paying BPJS Health Contributions After Utilization of Delivery Services

“…The results of this study are quite different from many previous studies that there is a close relationship between ability to pay and compliance with paying contributions. The ability to pay contributes to influencing a person in choosing the pattern of health financing to be used (18), as well as increasing the willingness of family heads to participate in JKN organized by BPJS Health to meet their family's health needs (19). So if the ability to pay is classified as good, it will tend to increase willingness and compliance in paying BPJS Health contributions (20) (21).…”
