- Abstract
The economic crisis in Southeast Asia in the 2000s has resulted in the vulnerability of its people, including in Indonesia. Within the framework of economic recovery, the government developed a pro-people health policy. Every citizen is given health insurance. If it is poor, then the government helps its dues. However, it is not fully utilized. This study shows several reasons for the ineffectiveness of the program. Not a matter of access, but rather a matter of construction about illness. Pain has a social function. Pain can disturb the regularity of everyday life. Because things are more advanced, especially when deciding to be hospitalized. This study shows that there is a different construction between patient and family of patients based on social class. Differences in construction are related to pain, decisions for hospitalization to the decision to wait for the patient. Patients construct pain as destiny and misfortune. The family understands as destiny. Consequently, the family performs waiting activities as a form of love and concern for the patient.
