Abstract
⺠We assess targeting and impact of a subsidized social health insurance for the informal sector and the poor in Indonesia. ⺠We find that the programme is indeed targeted to the poor and those most vulnerable to catastrophic OOP health spending. ⺠Social health insurance has improved access to health care as it increased utilization of outpatient care among the poor. ⺠The programme has slightly increased OOP health spending due to an increase of relatively more expensive care.
