Abstract

For the poor, subsidized health insurance does not fully meet the needs at the time of illness. In a sick condition, let alone be hospitalized, help from the environment around the family becomes important. They struggle to free themselves from illness, so as not to worsen poverty. Through ethnographic research using illness narrative, the results show that the aid proved to be a burden for the community. The aid which is social capital becomes social debt for poor families. This conclusion resulted from the findings of poor families treated in the Sampang and Bantul’ public hospitals. Although different ethnic backgrounds differ (Java and Madura), the poor continue to take this into account as social debt.
