Abstract
This present study aimed to identify the relationship between access to health care (in terms of health insurance ownership and region) and health of older people in Indonesia. The main research question concerned the extent to which access to health care (ownership of insurance and region) is related to the health of the older people in Indonesia. Using the 5th wave of IFLS data, published by RAND Corporation, three health measurements were analysed using five binary logistic models (N = 3,976 older people aged 60 years and older). The findings show that older Indonesians who have better access to health care: (1) do not have better subjective health; (2) report more chronic conditions; and (3) have fewer functional limitations. Moreover, no significant relationship was found between access to health care and subjective health; however, significant relationships were demonstrated between access to health care and both objective and functional health.
