One more button in this section is "Auto H (old) function to keep the vehicle does not move or stay put even though the transmission is in the" D ". The condition is also very helpful when stopped at the ramp because, X3 is also equipped with" Hill Descent Control. " For the road again, just hit the gas pedal. Very fun!

Luxurious interior! Seat and the inside is coated (trim) with a comfortable leather occupied. Incidentally xDrive 35i is trying its interior (including seats) bright orange, red brown (red brown). This version also comes with a glass-roof.

Great Power
For the measures of speeding, X3 xDrive35i petrol or very fit. Power and torque it produces very large. Starting from low rpm to above, obtained hold. If you want to precede the other vehicle, just press the gas pedal deeper. No more large body impression.

A fierce tug engine though, make us like drive a small car. Once the gas pedal is pressed further in quickly - the transmission remains in "D" - was once the sensation of a very powerful pull of the machine.

Comfort
For the convenience is very steady. In addition, when asked to cornering or turning at high speed, feels stable. All thanks to features such as Cornering Brake Control and traction system. Once when turning or moving lane, though his posture is quite high, but the X3 is able to maneuver with a steady and convincing!

Infotainment system, mainly touched Blue tooth connection with the iPod Touch and Android smart phone. All went well! Brake is also okay! Although pressed a little, feel directly work!

During the trip, especially in the city, note the system "Start & Stop" when operated (the system can be turned off). After driving at speeds above 10 miles / hours, and then stops, in seconds, the engine died instantly! For this, there is also a sign on the instrument panel.

Fuel Consumption
During the trip had also noted the fuel consumption. Understandably this car already equipped with the readers of fuel consumption made is calculated by miles / liter. 

Health Insurance Development Strategy

In general, local and central government does not have adequate funds or does not give priority health financing. It can be seen from the small budget the health sector at national and regional levels, so the productivity of the population is still very low.
The strategy now should be within the law that applies, if it is still recognized, and the fact remains, that Indonesia is still the Homeland.
That is, policies that can be taken at this region, where the national policy of health insurance is still a legal product, then the health insurance expansion efforts in the area is still restricted by applicable law corridor. That is, the attempt to manage their own health insurance such as civil servants are not in accordance with applicable law corridor now. Likewise, require private employees as opposed to the Social Security regulations are inconsistent with the existing legal framework.

However, if the region wants to expand coverage or improve service quality by negotiating with Askes for example, can be done. Regions can work within the scope of their authority: mobilizing local social health insurance as part of the preparation of a national system. Cooperative members, the elderly population, and encourage private employees / government who are not civil servants can be included in the guarantee system. However, when there are national policies later, the organizers must be prepared merged entity in accordance with applicable legislation.
If the above strategies will be done, should be borne security package begins with a service that is essential / vital but bear its own weight. 

The principle of mutual aid / insurance is the same weight bear. Hospitalization, surgery, expensive treatments, and intensive care services is an area in need of health insurance mechanisms. This limited warranty packages that will be more easily adapted to extend warranty to a comprehensive package rather than vice versa. Security package that will be set at the central level will not be more than comprehensive. With this strategy, the region can resolve the health problems that become heavy burden citizens without having to have difficulty adapting to regulations to be born later. In addition, packages bear a limited guarantee will be more perceived benefits and required a much cheaper cost.

Moral hazard factor and management are two important factors to be considered in conducting warranty. Be aware that traditional health insurance that provides replacement cost (reimbursement) will invite moral hazard is high despite the guarantees provided only inpatient care or catastrophic cases. Conversely, if the assurance given in the form of service, then the moral hazard becomes more easily localized than provide a comprehensive guarantee. Therefore the management of this limited warranty will be much easier and more resolved. If this strategy is applied to compulsory insurance temporary (pending the Act), then the two major threats failure insurance (adverse selection and moral hazard) have been overcome.

  • the closure of an insurance policy to the insured's death, 
  • death of the insured, and 
  • evidence that properly insured has died.

Islamic system of insurance at its core indeed have a fundamental difference with conventional ones, among others:

  • The principle of Takaful contract is Takafuli (mutual assistance). Where the customer is the one helping the other customers who were experiencing difficulties. While conventional insurance contract is tadabuli (buying and selling between customer and company).
  • Funds collected from customers' insurance companies (premiums) are invested according to sharia sharing system (mudaraba). While in conventional insurance, investments made in any sector fund with a system of interest.
  • Premiums collected still treated as funds belonging to clients. The company only as a fiduciary to manage it. While in conventional insurance, the premium belongs to the company and the company who has full authority to establish funds management policy.
  • If there is an affected participant, for payment of customer claims the funds deducted from the account tabarru (social funds) all participants who already Relax for the purposes of mutual assistance. While in conventional insurance, the claim payment funds taken from accounts held by the company.
  • Investment profits divided between the customer as the owner of the funds with the company as manager, with the principle of revenue sharing. While in conventional insurance, the benefits become fully owned by the company. If there is no claim, customers do not get anything.

The Importance of Having Health Insurance

In Indonesia there are two types of health insurance is health insurance collective (group) and individual health insurance. Insurance is usually reserved for private individuals or families, while insurers collectively as found in many companies already provide health coverage to their employees. Individual insurance premiums to be paid relatively higher than the collective health insurance. Why is that? Because of the collective, then the number of participants who took part individually or bigger so the risk of a claim can be evenly by all the individual within the group. The greater the number of groups or members within a single institution or company, it will lower the premium to be paid.
Health Insurance Benefits
Health insurance is a type of insurance that helps the availability of health insurance funds if participants develop health problems or illnesses. All the needs of seeing a doctor, stay (care) in hospitals, drug costs in the hospital until the operation, all that can be covered by insurance companies. Generally this type of treatment or programs that are available are the benefits of ambulatory (outpatient), benefit of inpatient care (inpatient), labor benefits and dental benefits.

In general, the benefits of ambulatory (outpatient) are covered by insurance companies is as consulting fees or general practitioner and specialists, prescription medication costs, costs of preventive measures, the cost of assistive devices required by doctors, and others. In the outpatient benefits have maximum limits use of funds each year. While hospitalization benefits that can be enjoyed by participants of health insurance is like the hospital costs, lab fees, delivery fees, the cost of emergency service (emergency). The benefits of preventive dental care, basic dental care, dental care complex, and the installation of dentures.

Third-care benefits, namely outpatient, maternity and dental benefits is an additional option that we can take the following basic program, which benefits of hospitalization. So, we are not allowed to just take advantage of outpatient care, childbirth or dental work alone without following the basic program of hospitalization benefits.

The amount of premium to be paid and the amount of value in health insurance is dependent on the health insurance program that we choose. Various insurance companies have the types of programs and premiums vary by the details of benefits also varies. Typically, insurance companies limit the amount of the total cost that can be used per year.

The system claims / reimbursement of health insurance

The system used by health insurance companies there are 2 ie the reimbursement system (reimbursement) or the system provider. With the reimbursement system, insurance participants have to spend money first to pay for treatment then can we claim or request a replacement to the insurer in which we become participants of insurance. With this system we are then free to choose a hospital anywhere, but certainly the maximum reimbursement has been determined in advance. That need to be our primary concern in making the claim is the completeness of letters of administration that became the main requirement for the reimbursement of expenses that we can be paid out by insurance companies. How quickly depends on the disbursement of claims services provided by insurance companies, but generally ranges from 7 working days.

For those who embrace the system provider, we do not need to spend money first. We only provided with health insurance membership card in order to obtain needed health care in a hospital or health clinic that we selected earlier based on a list of hospitals that work with the insurance company.

Choosing health insurance

What kind of health insurance that we need to look at and we choose? Here are some tips that may help us in choosing health insurance
  • Principle carefully before buying. As a potential participant health insurance, we are entitled to get the right information, clear and honest about the terms / conditions stated in the insurance agreement. We should first read the instructions, information, and procedures are carefully and do not hesitate to ask the insurance company if there is something less obvious. Learn the agreement properly so that it can make the right decisions. Given the usual clause or clauses written in small letters on the back of the agreement and use a term that is sometimes difficult to understand layman, then we must be diligent in asking to avoid conflict in the future as a result of the difference between our interpretation as a participant, or insured by the company insurer or the insurer.
  • Choose the insurance companies are reliable and have good products and services. Try to compare with some health insurance companies are reliable and have excellent service. Compare the benefits and premiums to be paid between the various health insurance products. Choose one that suits your needs and our ability to pay premiums.
  • If the company where we work do not provide health insurance, then we can take the initiative to follow the collective health insurance program with fellow employees in our company. This will benefit because the premium paid would be lower if the collective, but the losses may not be able to adopt 100% according to our will as well adapted to the needs of the group.
If we reflect for a moment then come sickness or accident is an event that often occur, although the timing is not predictable. Therefore, it needed a plan to prevent and resolve the issue carefully and wisely. The principle of "willing umbrella before it rains" can be done, one way to have health insurance.
