Law No. 40 of 2004 concerning the National Social Security System (SJSN) addresses Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by requiring every resident to have access to comprehensive health services through a pre-effort system. The constitutional foundation is provided by Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, which affirms that “every person has the right to live prosperously physically and spiritually, to reside, and to obtain a good and healthy environment as well as the right to receive health services.” However, the implementation of health services has not fully resolved the complexity of health service management and financing, which increasingly depends on advanced and costly health technologies. This study aims to examine the protection of citizens’ rights to health insurance in realizing universal health coverage. The research employs a normative juridical method using a legislative (statute) approach, a historical approach, and a philosophical approach. Secondary data, comprising primary and secondary legal materials, were collected through library research. The findings reveal that the protection of citizens’ rights to health insurance in the realization of universal health coverage constitutes the fulfillment of basic rights to health. The government, therefore, bears the responsibility to guarantee adequate, equitable, and optimal access to health services for every citizen as part of its obligation to respect, protect, and fulfill constitutional rights.
